FRANKFORT, KY. (LEX 18) – A Madison County man has been indicted on nearly 30 counts of alleged sex crimes after he was arrested by cyber investigators from the office of Attorney General Andy Beshear in October.

Dylan Minch, 26, was indicted Jan. 17 on 20 counts of possession of child pornography, one count of first-degree sexual abuse, and eight counts of the use of a minor under 16 years of age in a sex performance.

Investigators secured a search warrant of Minch’s home where they recovered several electronic devices that allegedly contained graphic media files of children engaged in sexual acts.

The Attorney General’s office says  Minch was initially charged with the possession of child pornography images at the time of his arrest, but the grand jury was presented forensic evidence by cyber investigators’ examination of Minch’s devices that revealed images of Minch engaging in acts that investigators felt warranted the additional sex crime charges.

Minch is currently housed in the Madison County Detention on a $50,000 cash bond.
