On January 29, 2025, ICAC began working on a child exploitation case when they received two cybertips. Upon further investigation, detectives discovered explicit material had been uploaded to two online accounts that were connected to one phone number. The phone number was traced to Philip Briner of Jonesboro. A search warrant was issued for the two accounts and revealed multiple videos and an image of juvenile girls engaging in sexual behavior with adults.
Mr. Briner was taken into custody and charged with Possession or use of Child Sexual Abuse Material and received a $75,000 cash surety bond from Judge Ralph Wilson.
