Sidney police began investigating a complaint last week in regard to a sexual assault and child pornography they said involved Justice. The victim in the case is under the age of five.
The crimes were said to have happened at Justice’s mobile home on Wapakoneta Avenue over multiple days in January, court records read.
According to court records, Justice took photos of the private areas of a prepubescent girl and uploaded them to his Google account. Sidney Police said the account had not been shared with anyone.
Sidney investigators were able to track the photographs to Justice’s home using metadata.
In one of the photos, police were able to match a tattoo from the photo to one Justice has, court records showed.
Police said they don’t have any information at this point that leads them to believe there are any other victims, however the case remains open and under investigation.
