🚨U.S. Marshals recover 79 missing children in Ohio operation🚨

🚨The U.S. Marshals Service recovered 79 children reported missing or endangered during a monthlong operation across Ohio.

❗️The operation is being described by the U.S. Marshals Service as the🚨 largest missing-child operation in Ohio history.❗️

🚨Operation Meridian

🚨Operation Meridian was conducted throughout August
2026 📅 with ✔️federal, ✔️state and✔️ local law enforcement agencies, according to a press release.

🚨The children, ages 6 to 17, were reported missing under a variety of circumstances, including suspected child sex trafficking, physical and emotional abuse, neglect, running away and other forms of endangerment, officials said.


“Every recovered child represents a life pulled back from danger,” U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott said in a news release.

🚨Two missing sisters found in Columbus-area investigation

🚨One case involved two sisters, ages 13 and 16, who had been reported missing in July 2024 📅 and April 2026,📅 according to US Marshals.

🚨U.S. Marshals and Columbus police followed leads that led investigators to a home in Lockbourne, where they found 👀 the 13-year-old girl concealed in a basement crawlspace hidden beneath the floor of a bedroom closet, according to officials.❗️

The girls’ mother was arrested on an outstanding Franklin County warrant for a probation violation, officials said.

Investigators obtained additional information during the recovery and later found the 16-year-old at a restaurant on Harrisburg Pike in Columbus, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.

💖Amanda Berry, a Cleveland woman who was kidnapped and held captive for years before her 2013 escape, addressed the U.S. Marshals team before the operation, according to a press release.

They said she encouraged investigators to treat every missing child as if they were their own.❗️

“That’s what the men and women of the United States Marshals Service and our partners did,” Elliott said.

🚨U.S. Marshals did not say how many people were facing charges.

🕵‍♀️. AS INDIANA HAS A MASSIVE WAVE OF CONTINUED RECORD ARRESTS FOR CHILD SEX CRIMES: INCEST, MOLESTATION, CHILD EXPLOITATION, CHILD SOLICITATION, CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING, CSAM AND PRODUCTION OF CSAM, WE HAVE 54 MISSING INDIANA CHILDREN.

HOWEVER, OUR NEIGHBOR, OHIO, HAS CONTINUED WITH RECORD NUMBERS OF MISSING CHILDREN AND AN INCREASE IN CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING CASES. ONLINE PREDATORS COMMUNICATING WITH OHIO CHILDREN SET UP MEET-UPS WITH THEM, SEXUALLY ABUSE THEM, KIDNAP THEM, AND TRANSPORT THEM TO OTHER STATES TO BE HIDDEN & TRAFFICKED.

🚨OHIO HAS 161 MISSING CHILDREN, COMPARED TO ITS NEIGHBORS: INDIANA'S 54, ILLINOIS' 80, AND MICHIGAN'S 40.

🚨 Anderson man charged for alleged molestation and trafficking of 12-year-old

🚨A 19-year-old man faces charges of ❌️child molestation and promoting ❌️child sex trafficking after a 12-year-old reported that he allegedly raped her.

🚨A 19-year-old Anderson man is now charged after allegedly molesting a 12-year-old girl and promoting child sex trafficking. 

🚨According to court documents, on May 26, 2026, 📅 a young girl in an Anderson school reporte🗣 that she had been ❌️raped to the assistant principle. She said that a male subject, who identified himself as🚨 "Joshua Zeuss," raped her. 

🚨The next day, May 27, a detective was assigned the case and discovered that there were forensic kids' interviews scheduled for more victims. ❗️

🚨One girl said that she knew "Joshua" and that she met Joshua ❌️through a friend who met him on ❌️Snapchat. She stated that she talked to Joshua in person, on ❌️FaceTime and over the phone and that he was "weird." 

🚨The girl continued that Joshua allegedly told them that ❌️he was 14 and went to Anderson High School. Court documents note that❌️ no "Joshua Zeuss" was found in records. 

🚨The girl said Joshua allegedly sent pictures of his genitals and videos of him through Snapchat. She explained that Joshua would also ask for pictures, which she sent because he was begging her. 

🚨The detective then interviewed the 12-year-old victim, who said that she asked ❌️Joshua to meet up and they did. The pre-teen said that Joshua kept trying to "get in her pants" but she kept pulling away. 

She said eventually she just "gave up." 

🚨The 12-year-old said that she met Joshua on Snapchat a year prior, and that she told him her age. She says he told her that❌️ he was 14 but she believed he was ❌️15 or 16. 

🚨The girl said the first time they met was with her friend at an abandon building. She said during the meet up Joshua took her into a closet and grabbed her but stopped when her friend opened the door. 

🚨In another instance of them meeting, the girl said Joshua was looking for a private place to have sex. The 12-year-old said that he took her to an ❌️abandon garage and tried to take her pants off, but she refused. 

Court documents say their meetings continued with "Joshua" trying to have sex.

🚨The most recent incident happened May 15, 2026. The girl stated that Joshua persuaded her to❌️ leave her home at around 11:35 p.m. The 12-year-old said that they went to a❌️ park where Joshua allegedly kept trying to have sex and after resisting, she states she gave up. 

🚨The girl stated that he went for "six rounds" and ejaculated in her. She said she finally went home even though he kept asking for more. 

She said she kept in contact with Joshua after the assault. Later detectives found the messages between the 12-year-old and Joshua. 

🚨On May 16, the girl texted that she felt guilty because she was 12 and Joshua allegedly stated that it felt good. 

Later on May 22, Joshua allegedly stated texted "Ngl at first felt guilty about us having sex but come to find out there's nothing wrong with it tbh."

🚨On May 23, Joshua stated, "I just realized today have no regrets."⁉️ Joshua then proceeded to say, "I'd do it again and again and again."

🚨Messages continued on May 31 with Joshua messaging her that he was happy to lose his virginity to someone he "truly loved and cared about." 

🚨Joshua allegedly also apologized to the 12-year-old if she got pregnant but began talking about have a baby together.  The girl responded that she had a negative pregnancy test. Joshua went on to say that he allegedly wanted a relationship and even babies with the 12-year-old.

🚨Upon further investigation, detectives discovered the true identity of "Joshua" as J'von Hopson by tracking his Gmail and Snapchat accounts.

🚨While investigating, detectives found the birthday associated with Hopson's Snapchat account was May 23, 2007, 🚨which would make him 19-years-old, the court documents say. 

Detectives say on July 21, a search🔍 was conducted on Hopson's residence. During the search, detectives say they made contact with Hopson and asked for his Snapchat. Documents say he showed his Snapchat and Hopson was arrested. ⛓️

🚨Detectives then interview Hopson who allegedly denied knowing the young girls at first. However, Hopson later admitted to meeting them on Snapchat. 

Hopson went on to say that the 12-year-old did grind on him, but he never had intercourse. Hopson then told detectives that he was just "trolling" in the messages but later said that his penis may have "accidentally slipped inside." 

Detectives say that Hopson said the biggest thing that he was hung up on was that the 12-year-old said he raped her. 

Detectives went in to say that Hopson said he allegedly thought she was 15, 16 or 17. Later in the interview, detectives say after showing more messages to Hopson he stated it was "just mix of real life and trolling."

At the end of the interview, documents say that Hopson was allegedly crying, stating that he had made a mistake and now his life was over.

Documents say Hopson was arrested and taken to Madison County Jail. 

🚨According to court⚖️ documents, Hopson is being charged with the following: 

Child Molesting

Child Molesting- fondling or touching with child under 14

Child Solicitation

2 counts of dissemination of matter harmful to minors

Promotion of child sexual trafficking

🚨Lafayette man with two prior child pornography convictions booked without bond

🚨Nicholas Taylor Custance, 37, was booked into the Tippecanoe County Jail on Wednesday, July 29.

🚨Jail records list two entries for possession of child pornography, both marked ❌️no bond and associated with the Lafayette Police Department.

🚨Court records show Custance has two previous felony cases involving child exploitation and child pornography.

🚨The available jail entry does not establish whether he is facing newly filed charges or was returned to custody in connection with his existing convictions.⁉️

🚨Custance’s first case was filed in May 2018. 📅 He pleaded guilty to Level 5 felony child exploitation and Level 6 felony possession of child pornography. Two additional possession counts were dismissed under the plea agreement.

In October 2018, 📅 Judge Steven Meyer sentenced Custance to five years in the Indiana Department of Correction on the child-exploitation conviction, with ❌️one year and 182 days ❌️suspended. ⁉️

🚨He also received a concurrent two-year sentence for possession of child pornography and 176 days of ❌️jail credit.⁉️

🚨A petition to revoke his probation was filed in February 2021. 📅 Custance later admitted to the violation, and the court granted the revocation petition in June 2021.📅

🚨While that matter was pending, Custance was charged in a ❌️separate case in March 2021 📅 with one Level 5 felony and two Level 6 felonies for possession of child pornography.

🚨He ultimately pleaded guilty to Level 5 felony possession of child pornography with an ❌️aggravating factor, while the other two charges were ❌️dismissed.⁉️⁉️

🚨He was sentenced in September 2021📅 to ❌️six years in the Indiana Department of Correction, with ❌️two years suspended and❌️ 224 days of jail credit.⁉️

🚨Prosecutors filed another petition to❌️ revoke probation in January 2025.📅 The court granted the petition following an evidentiary hearing and, in July 2025,📅 ordered Custance to serve his previously stayed sentence.

The court docket indicates Custance was housed at 🚨New Castle Correctional Facility⛓️ as recently as January 2026.

🚨At this time, no new criminal case or probable-cause affidavit has been provided showing that the July 29 booking resulted from a separate investigation.

🚨The two no-bond entries may be connected to his prior cases or outstanding court orders.

❗️Additional info will be added once formal documents clarify the reason for his return to the county jail.❗️

🚨A former Indiana fire chief was arrested after being accused of sexually abusing a teenage girl more than 10 years ago, at a time when he was married and had teenage children of his own.

🚨The arrest came after the victim led law enforcement to electronic devices holding alleged child sexual abuse material that involved the victim when she was a minor.

🚨The victim said the abuse during her childhood became a "running joke," adding that several other individuals knew what was going on but have decided to keep quiet about it.

"No one will ever believe you," he allegedly said. "I’m an important public official. You’re nobody."

🚨A former Indiana fire chief is facing additional charges after he allegedly sexually abuse a teenage girl years ago.

🚨Former Gregg Township Fire Chief Roger Kemp is facing additional charges after he allegedly used his position of power to abuse a teenage girl over ten years ago.

🚨Court documents reveal that the victim contacted the Indiana State Police with evidence of alleged crimes that occurred in 2012.📅 The woman reportedly stated that she was❌️ 14 years old when she first met Kemp.

🚨Former Indiana fire chief accused of abusing teenage girl: 'No one will ever believe you'

Former Indiana fire chief Roger Kemp was taken into custody after he allegedly sexually abused a teenage girl.

🚨A former Indiana fire chief is facing additional charges after he allegedly sexually abuse a teenage girl years ago.

🚨Former Gregg Township Fire Chief Roger Kemp is facing ✔️additional charges after he allegedly used his position of power to abuse a teenage girl over ten years ago.

🚨Court documents reveal that the victim contacted the Indiana State Police with evidence of alleged crimes that occurred in 2012.📅 The woman reportedly stated that she was❌️ 14 years old when she first met Kemp.

🚨Kemp was married with children around the same age as the victim at that time.

🚨“Him being a fire chief, he always told me, ‘No one will ever believe you because I am in this position of power. I’m an important public official. You’re nobody’,” the woman, identified in the report as 28-year-old Arika Palmer.

🚨The documents state that the suspect had engaged the child in a sexual manner several times before she turned 16, after which he reportedly threw a party due to a "running joke."

🚨"Basically it goes from sexual misconduct with a minor to statutory rape," was the "running joke" in question.

Brown County Prosecutor Ted Adams said he thinks the joke "shows his culpability,".

"It demonstrates that, in my opinion, that’ll be valuable evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he knew exactly what he was doing," Adams said, per the report.

🚨He said although the statute of limitations for most felonies expires after five years, cases involving sexual abuse have certain "saving clauses" that allow for prosecution at later times.

🚨“There’s a lot of subsections. The one I operated under was newly discovered items that were disclosed to law enforcement. Once it was disclosed to us, the Indiana State Police acted upon it, and that would allow us to pursue the actions that took place in 2012," Adams told WXIN.

When speaking on the alleged crimes, Palmer said she feels "completely failed by, especially, the fire department, because that’s supposed to be a safe place that people can go for help."

“And not only is the chief in a relationship with an underage girl, but the people who know about it are also not saying anything to anyone," she added, per the report.

🚨Palmer further stated that she feels the system continues to fail her, as well as the young daughter she shares with Kemp, because he is permitted visits supervised not by a third party, but by family members.

“Kids can’t keep getting hurt. Public officials can’t keep thinking that it’s okay to do this and that they won’t get caught," Palmer said.

🚨Prosecutors first charged the suspect with possession of CSAM in February after the victim led investigators to ❌️USB drives she found, which contained images and video of her.

🚨Kemp was arrested and is facing the following additional charges:

Sexual misconduct with a minor

Vicarious sexual gratification

Child exploitation (multiple counts)

The suspect resigned after he was initially charged, and the new chief said the department has since "undergone complete organizational restructuring," as well as crafted new comprehensive processes for hiring and vetting.

The Gregg Township Fire Department issued the following statement to community members on its official Facebook page:

"The Gregg Township Fire Department wishes to address recent public concerns regarding former member Roger Kemp and to clarify the current status of our organization. Roger Kemp resigned from the Gregg Township Volunteer Fire Department on February 5, 2026. Following his resignation, the former corporation determined it was appropriate to remove him from the organization."

"Since that time, our department has undergone complete organizational restructuring. We are now operating as the Gregg Township Fire Department, a new corporation with new leadership, new members, new policies, new procedures, and newly adopted bylaws. Our department has established a comprehensive hiring and vetting process designed to ensure we maintain the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and accountability. We are aware of the recent criminal charges involving Roger Kemp. Because this is an active legal matter, we will not comment on the specifics of the case. However, we want to make it clear that the alleged conduct reported publicly does not reflect the values, principles, or expectations of the Gregg Township Fire Department. We do not condone any behavior that undermines the trust our community places in us."

"The Gregg Township Fire Department is committed to serving the residents of Gregg Township and the surrounding communities with professionalism, honesty, and respect. Every member of our department is expected to uphold these values and to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects positively on the fire service. We recognize that public trust is earned through our actions. Our administration and membership remain dedicated to continuous improvement, transparency, and providing the highest level of service to those who depend on us. We appreciate the continued support of our community and remain committed to protecting the lives and property of those we proudly serve."
