A San Tan Valley man is in custody in connection with an investigation into sexual exploitation of a minor.

Ian Sutherlin, 28, was identified by the Homeland Security Investigations Phoenix Division during the course of an investigation into online child exploitation, according to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.

Sutherlin allegedly was found to be in possession of downloaded child sexual abuse material, PCSO stated.

On June 12, PCSO took Sutherlin into custody without incident. A search warrant was served on his home immediately following the arrest.

Sutherlin was booked into the Pinal County Detention Facility on 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb stated in a video on PCSO’s Facebook page.

Sutherlin is being held on a $10,000 bond and the investigation remains active.
