ABERDEEN, WA — Two Aberdeen men were arrested on June 11, 2026, following an investigation by the Aberdeen Police Department into allegations involving the online exploitation of children.

According to a news release from the Aberdeen Police Department, detectives arrested the two 33-year-old suspects as part of an ongoing Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigation. Search warrants were also executed at two residences connected to the suspects during the operation.

The investigation began after the Aberdeen Police Department received information from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding suspected online material involving the possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct within the City of Aberdeen.

Detectives conducted an extensive investigation that led to the identification of two suspects and the development of probable cause for their arrests. Following the arrests, investigators searched the suspects' residences as part of the continuing investigation.

Both men were booked into the Grays Harbor County Jail on multiple charges, including:

• Possession of Depictions of a Minor Engaged in Sexually Explicit Material
• Dealing in Depictions of a Minor Engaged in Sexually Explicit Material
• Indecent Liberties
• Voyeurism

The Aberdeen Police Department was assisted during the operation by detectives and officers from several agencies, including the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's Office, Grays Harbor County Drug Task Force, Montesano Police Department, and the Vancouver Police Department. Authorities said the Vancouver Police Department also provided support with an electronic detection K-9.

Investigators emphasized that the case remains active and that significant follow-up work is still underway.

No additional information about the identities of the suspects has been released at this time, and the investigation remains ongoing.
