A 33-year-old man, Christopher A. Milburn, was arrested by Mt. Vernon Police on Wednesday due to an active arrest warrant from Jefferson County. He faces serious charges, including Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse and five counts of Possession of Child Pornography.
The arrest followed an investigation initiated by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office after receiving a Cybertip report on May 24. Detectives from the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force conducted the investigation, which involved obtaining search warrants for electronic records. This led to a search warrant being executed at Milburn’s home on August 5, where investigators seized electronic devices that were later analyzed for evidence of criminal activity.
During the investigation, it was also revealed that Milburn had worked at Mt. Vernon Township High School in 2013, where he allegedly had inappropriate sexual contact with a 14-year-old student. The findings have been forwarded to the Jefferson County State’s Attorney’s Office for consideration of criminal charges.
