Bethalto Man Charged With Five Counts Of Child Pornography

BETHALTO - Tyler I. Duncan, 20, of the 100 block of Main Street, Bethalto, has been charged with five counts of child pornography resulting from an investigation by the Bethalto Police Department.

Bethalto Police Chief Mike Dixon said the charges stem from an investigation conducted by the Bethalto Police Department after they received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing Exploited Children (NCMEC) that linked possible child pornography with an address in the Village of Bethalto, which was linked to Duncan.

"On February 16, 2023, the Bethalto Police Department executed a search warrant on the home in question, which was in the 100 block of West Main Street," Dixon said. "Duncan was taken into custody during the search warrant execution and transported to the Madison County Jail, where he was held pending a formal presentation of facts to Madison County State’s Attorney Thomas Haine’s Office.
