The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force has arrested 73 year-old Arthur Palmisano of Ponchatoula man in its latest operation. Palmisano has been booked on 60 counts of Pornography Involving Juveniles Under the Age of 13.
Last week, the TPSO ICAC Unit was alerted by its ICAC partners to a Child Sexual Assault Material (CSAM) image being uploaded into a popular search engine in an effort to find similar images. Detectives tracked the activity back to an address in Ponchatoula. After serving a search warrant on the home, Palmisano was confirmed to have been the source of the upload and was found to have dozens of CSAM files on his devices. He was then placed under arrest.
This activity is part of TPSO’s partnership with Attorney General Liz Murrill’s Office and their ICAC Task Force which includes a collaboration with numerous local law enforcement agencies.
The TPSO would like to thank the Hammond and Covington Police Departments for assisting with this case.
