The Scott County Sheriff’s Office received information from Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) of an individual within our area that was trading or in possession of Child Po*******hy. On October 2nd the Sheriff’s Office and LeClaire Police Department did a search warrant in the 300 Block of Dodge Street in LeClaire. During this search, electric devices were seized from the residence to assist with this investigation. During a forensic exam on these devices, a large number of images and videos were found of minor children performing s*x acts.

An arrest warrant was issued this morning for Austin Howland Dana (age 30), of LeClaire, for 10 counts of purchase/possess depiction of a minor in a s*x act (Iowa Code 728.12(3)(C)). Dana was taken into custody at his residence and turned over to the Scott County Jail.

The Sheriff's Office was assisted in this investigation by LeClaire Police Department and Internet Crimes Against Children. This investigation is on-going at this time.

The charges referenced in this release are allegations only. The individual is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. The filing of charges does not constitute a finding of guilt, and the individual has not been convicted of the alleged offenses.
