ABILENE, Texas — An Abilene man is headed to federal prison for more than 17 years after being indicted on a charge of knowingly receiving or distributing child pornography.
The APD said the arrest of Brent Alden Cooper, 37, stems from an investigation involving multiple agencies that began in April 2021, when a tip was received from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children Cyber tip line.
An investigation led to a search warrant being executed at Cooper's home, where several devices were retrieved.
The Abilene Police Department said the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Texas Department of Public Safety Investigation Division and the Taylor County Sherriff's Office helped in the investigation.
Cooper has other charges pending that have been submitted to the Taylor County District Attorney's Office stemming from the investigation.
