Petersburg Man Arrested for Vicarious Sexual Gratification and Child Pornography

1

 

Pike County – Indiana State Police initiated a criminal investigation in October 2021 after receiving a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children concerning child pornography files being shared through Facebook by Jason Potts, 47, of Petersburg.

On January 20, Indiana State Police and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force served a search warrant at Potts’ residence in Petersburg. According to an affidavit of probable cause filed in the Pike Circuit Court, troopers discovered numerous media files that had been shared between Potts and female children under the age of 16. The investigation revealed the alleged incidents occurred between October 2020 and January 2022. After reviewing the investigation, the Pike County Circuit Court issued an arrest warrant for Potts.

Monday morning, January 31, at approximately 9:00, Indiana State Police and Pike County Sheriff’s Office arrested Potts at his residence without incident. He was transported to the Pike County Jail where he is currently being held on bond.

Arrested and Charges:

  • Jason W. Potts, Petersburg, IN
  1. Vicarious Sexual Gratification, Level 4 Felony
  2. 2 Counts of Child Solicitation, Level 5 Felony
  3. 2 Counts of Possession of Child Pornography, Level 6 Felony

Investigating Officer: Trooper Tanner Hurley, Indiana State Police

Two Likely 2024 Republican Governor Candidates Have Impressive Political Warchest

Two Likely 2024 Republican Governor Candidates Have Impressive Political  Warchest

(It’s strongly rumored that the third Republican candidate for Governor of Indiana is arch-conservative Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita.  It’s also projected that Attorney Todd General Rokita will also be the top fundraiser in the Republican primary race for Governor of Indiana)

FORT WAYNE, Ind.  — Donors are already thinking about the 2024 race for Indiana governor even if most voters aren’t yet.

Two likely Republican gubernatorial candidates report around $1 million in cash on hand in mid-2021 reports posted Thursday on the Indiana Secretary of State’s website.

Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch shows $1,195,473.56 on hand while Fort Wayne businessman Eric Doden reports $928,980.64. Doden already has announced he intends to run while Crouch has not but has stepped up her visibility. The Lt. Governor’s office deflected fundraising comments to the campaign office whose phone number is disconnected.

Meanwhile, the Doden camp sent a celebratory press release to WANE 15 to tout the 56 days ‘historic’ effort.

“Maci and I are honored and motivated by this incredible support,” Doden said in the release. “But we are just getting started. We will continue working hard to ensure our campaign is well positioned and resourced to win while embarking on our 92 county Main Street Tour.”

“The historic response we have received from leaders across Indiana has exceeded our high expectations for this campaign,” Doden campaign treasurer Rudy Yakym III said.

The Doden release says their campaign received an additional $4 million in financial commitments in later years for a total raise of $5 million for the 2024 race for governor.

When Governor Eric Holcomb launched his successful run for reelection, he had more than a $6 million war chest. He still has $1,509,965.03 on hand to run for a different office or contribute to a different campaign. He has not announced his next political step after his current term. Indiana law prohibits him from running again for governor.

Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita is widely seen as another possible entry in the governor’s race. He reports $677,000 on hand at the end of 2020.

On the Democratic side, former Senator Joe Donnelly and former Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett have disbanded their campaigns while former Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick has $40,876.94 on hand but did not file a report in 2021.

No Democrats have announced a 2024 run for Indiana governor as of yet.  This is a developing story.

Democrat Jon A. Schaefer Announces That He’s Running For Vanderburgh County Prosecuting Attorney

Yesterday Vanderburgh County resident, Jon A. Schaefer will file his declaration yesterday that he will seek the office of the Vanderburgh County Prosecuting Attorney

Schaefer has been with the Vanderburgh County Public Defender’s Agency for over 12 years, currently serving as Chief Counsel. He has tried many jury trials in the Vanderburgh County courts over the years.

He serves on the Board of Directors for the Peace Zone, Inc., a local peer-run mental health organization. He also teaches courses in criminology, courts, and legal ethics at the USI and UE.

Jon was born and raised in Haubstadt, Indiana. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree from USI, a master’s degree from Indiana State University, and a law degree from Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. He is married to a wonderful wife, Jenny, and has two amazing children, Colby and Marley.

Schaefer said: “My father taught me that a person’s reputation, no matter what job they do, is absolutely crucial. The only worthy respect is the kind you earn. I have earned the valuable respect of my colleagues by being a knowledgeable, honest, trusted voice in and out of the courtroom. Vanderburgh County desperately needs someone who can repair the reputation of the Prosecutor’s Office by removing politics, restoring integrity, and leading by example. No one can uphold the law if they believe they are above it.”
