Shreveport Police Arrest Florida Man for Child Sexual Abuse Material

Last week, the Shreveport’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force was called by investigators with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.

The call was regarding Colby Crowson, who was wanted on 15 counts involving Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). Investigators believed Crowson had fled to Shreveport and requested SPD's assistance in locating him.

Through thorough investigative work and surveillance, Shreveport ICAC investigators determined Crowson was living in Blanchard. Working with the Blanchard Police Department, Officers took Crowson into custody earlier this week, without incident.

Because Crowson had been residing in Caddo Parish, Shreveport ICAC investigators are now conducting a separate investigation to determine whether he committed any crimes while living in our area.

From SPD:

"We want to thank the Blanchard Police Department for their partnership and assistance in ensuring this accused child predator is no longer walking free in our community.

If you exploit children, traffic in child sexual abuse material, or believe you can hide in our community, think again. We will work with our law enforcement partners across the country to find you, arrest you, and hold you accountable. Children deserve protection, and those who prey on them deserve a jail cell."
