COLUMBUS, Ind. — A Columbus man has been arrested for child pornography and sexual exploitation.
Jordan Fields, 20, was arrested on March 25 in Columbus by the FBI and the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office. He faces charges of Sexual Exploitation, Attempted Sexual Exploitation of a Child, and Distribution and Receipt of Child Pornography.
Federal prosecutors say that between March 1, 2020, and July 29, 2020, Fields sexually exploited three children by “using each minor or attempting to use each minor to create visual depictions of Minor Victims 1 and 2 engaging in sexually explicit conduct, using materials that led in interstate or foreign commerce.”
Fields is also accused of sharing child pornography between March and November 2020.
Fields’ known victims were in Brown and Bartholomew County, but there may be additional victims. Police are asking anyone who has a child that may have interacted with Fields, who feels as if any of those interactions could have been sexually inappropriate or was an attempt to “groom” a minor for future sexual interactions, to contact the FBI at 317.595.4000.
Fields’ initial court appearance was on March 26. Fields is currently in the custody of the US Marshal Service pending trial.
