The arrest came after investigators with the Indiana State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) began a criminal investigation in November 2024 after receiving a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), according to a news release from the Indiana State Police.

This investigation resulted in the Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office granting a search warrant for a residence in Warsaw being used by Brandon L. Palmer, 27, at 2519 E. Center St., #324.

The warrant was executed by members of the Indiana State Police ICAC Task Force, the Indiana State Police Bremen Post and the Warsaw Police Department on Wednesday, Jan. 21, and resulted in the seizure of multiple electronic devices, the news release states.

Palmer was arrested as a result of this investigation and taken to the Kosciusko County Jail. Preliminary bond was set at $20,000.

The investigation is ongoing.

ICAC Taskforce investigators were assisted in this investigation by the Indiana State Police Bremen Post, the Warsaw Police Department and the Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office.

The Indiana ICAC Task Force is a multiagency task force led by the Indiana State Police. The task force serves to conduct investigations into reports of child sexual exploitation, enticement by predators and the production and distribution of child sexual abuse material; apprehend and prosecute offenders; and educate the public on how to prevent online child victimization.

Each year, Indiana ICAC investigators from around the state evaluate thousands of tips, investigate hundreds of cases and rescue dozens of children from ongoing sexual abuse, according to the release.

The Indiana ICAC Task Force encourages Hoosiers to report online exploitation, solicitation and enticement-type crimes against children to the NCMEC. The NCMEC website can be accessed through the ICAC Task Force website.
