Eagle Grove Man Arrested On Child Pornography Charges

The Wright County Sheriff’s Office has arrested and charged 30-year-old Jason Marvets of Eagle Grove with Sexual Exploitation of a Minor for the receipt, dissemination and possession of images depicting minors in prohibited sexual acts.

Marvets is charged with four Class D felonies and an Aggravated misdemeanor.

The arrest follows a several months long investigation that was initiated by a Cyber Tip to the National Center For Missing and Exploited Children.

The Iowa Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the Webster County Cyber Crime Unit and the Eagle Grove Police Department assisted the Sheriff’s Office with the investigation.

“Social media has become a dangerous place and we will continue our work and cooperation with other agencies to apprehend those individuals who exploit our children,” said Wright County Sheriff Jason Schluttenhofer.

Marvets is being held in the Wright County Jail on a $50,000 cash only bond.

It should be noted a criminal charge is merely an accusation and the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
