January 9, 2023 – The Mariposa County Sheriff’s Department reports the following. On Sunday, January 8th, 2023, members of the Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office, Central California & Silicon Valley 
Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Forces, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), executed search warrants in Mariposa and Alameda Counties.
Tips generated from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) prompted three investigations that led to Charles “Chuck” Harris, 42 of Greeley Hill, being taken into custody for possession and distribution of multiple files of child pornography.
Charles was arrested on a Ramey warrant for possession of child pornography and booked into the Mariposa County Adult Detention Facility.
“The safety and protection of children is one of the most important jobs we have, children need to know they are safe. I am extremely proud of the swift and professional job our Detectives and partner agencies did, always working together so our communities are safer” Sheriff Jeremy Briese.
Due to the sensitivity and continued investigation, no additional details will be released.
