Brighton Man Facing Child Porn Charges
February 16, 2018
A child pornography investigation has led to charges against a Livingston County man.
65-year-old Todd Burton turned himself in at 21st District Court in Garden City, following an investigation conducted by the Michigan State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Burton was arraigned Wednesday on three counts each of child sexually abusive activity and possession of child sexually abusive activity, as well as six counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
The investigation stemmed from a National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Cyber Tip. Police say further investigation led to locating a residence, business and suspect between Brighton and Garden City. A search of both the home and business netted multiple devices and evidence.
If convicted, Burton faces up to 20 years in prison for each count of child sexually abusive activity, four years in prison for each count of possession of child sexually abusive material and seven years in prison for each count of using of a computer to commit a crime.
Anyone with information regarding possible child sexual exploitation is asked to report it to the CyberTipline at the link below.
