Fort Morgan Police Department -
In mid-January 2025, the Fort Morgan Police Department Detective Division receive two tips involving potential child pornography from the same IP address believed to be somewhere in the Fort Morgan area. These tips indicated there were at least 86 videos/images of young children involved in child pornography. Based on these tips, detectives applied for and received a search warrant for a home that was executed within a week of the initial tips.
The search warrant allowed officers to collect devices capable of sending/receiving/viewing such illegal images. Several devices were collected during this search. Forensic investigations of these devices were completed, and information was obtained regarding a social media account that may have been used for such pornography. A subsequent search warrant was obtained from the social media account and information was returned in late February.
On Monday, March 3rd, detectives were able to find over 500 links attached (most in video format) largely involving child pornography with very young children and immediately applied for an arrest warrant for the suspect in this case. Thirty-three-year-old Corey Stacy was arrested in connection to this warrant Monday afternoon. He is currently being held at the Morgan County Detention Center until he is advised by a judge.
*It is important to remember that all charges are simply an accusation by law enforcement and all parties must be presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
