A Fishers man is under arrest following an investigation by the Hamilton County Metro Child Exploitation Task Force.

Nathaniel Cornelius, 40, was taken into custody Wednesday facing 7 counts related to possession of child pornography.  The investigation began with a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Authorities say digital evidence was collected from Cornelius’ home and child sex abuse material was located on a computer. Cornelius is currently being held on a $100,000 bond at the Hamilton County Jail.

The Task Force, headquartered in the Fisher’s Police Department, consists of detectives from Westfield, Fishers, Carmel, Noblesville and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s office. The task force focuses on internet crimes against children and investigates child exploitation cases in Hamilton, Hancock, Madison, and Tipton counties.
