Arrest Warrant Issued for Man in Fort Morgan for Child Pornography

Fort Morgan Police Department -

Earlier this month, the Fort Morgan Police Department was contacted by an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about an investigation into a Fort Morgan resident who was collecting child pornography. 59-year-old Ian VanLare, of Fort Morgan, was found to be the suspect in this case.

On Wednesday, April 30th, the Fort Morgan Police Department and the FBI executed a search warrant at the VanLare residence. During the search warrant, files were found on a computer that led to an arrest warrant for VanLare for charges of Sexual Exploitation of a Child, a Class 4 Felony.

VanLare was transported to the Morgan County Detention Center, where he was held without bond pending advisement. All charges are local and will be prosecuted in the 13th Judicial District. Evidence seized during the search warrant will be further examined through a computer forensic laboratory, and the investigation is ongoing.
