DeKalb County, Alabama Sheriff Nick Welden has confirmed that Logan Ryan Jackson, 36, of Mentone, was involved in the production of child pornography. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) alerted DeKalb County Investigators about the potential upload of child sexual abuse material to an online search service. A search warrant was executed on October 9, 2024, and it was discovered that Jackson possessed numerous videos and images depicting children engaged in sexual acts. Several electronic devices were confiscated, and the investigation is ongoing with additional charges pending. Jackson was charged with Possession of Child Porn (x10). Sheriff Welden expressed gratitude for the collaboration between NCMEC and the Alabama Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, stating that there is no indication that Jackson was involved in the production of any videos or images and that every instance of child pornography is a victimization of the child involved.
