Detective Chris Borgmann of the Greenfield Police Department is getting formal credit for a case few in law enforcement ever forget. The Hamilton County Metro ICAC Task Force has named him Investigator of the Year, while Madison County deputy prosecutor Dan Kopp picked up the task force’s first-ever Prosecutor of the Year award. Both were spotlighted for their work on a child-exploitation investigation that ended with Pendleton resident Alec Hegge receiving a 91-year prison sentence on January 13, 2026, as reported by The Herald Bulletin.
Investigation Led to Long Sentence
The sentence followed Hegge’s guilty pleas and a court finding that he is a sexually violent predator and a credit-restricted felon, designations that trigger lifetime sex-offender registration, according to the Madison County Prosecutor’s Office. Prosecutors presented the case in Madison County Circuit Court, and Judge Andrew Hopper imposed the aggregate 91-year term on the same day the pleas were entered.
Local coverage and a task-force release said Hegge was arrested in July 2025 after detectives seized images and videos of child sexual abuse, and a probable-cause affidavit indicated he admitted to sexual contact with an infant. At the time, he worked as a registered behavior therapist in Anderson, according to WRTV. Investigators urged families who had contact with Hegge to call the Hamilton County Metro ICAC Task Force and speak with Det. Borgmann if they had information.
Awards and Task-Force Recognition
In a Facebook post by the Greenfield Police Department, Detective Borgmann was officially named the Hamilton County Metro ICAC Task Force’s Investigator of the Year, and Deputy Prosecutor Dan Kopp received the inaugural Prosecutor of the Year honor. The post noted that it was the first time the Indiana task force had ever presented a prosecutor-focused award and included photos originally shared by the Fishers Police Department.
It is not the kind of case anyone celebrates in the usual sense, but within law-enforcement circles, the recognition signals how complex and emotionally draining these investigations can be, and how much coordination it takes to see them through.
Legal Consequences and Context
The court’s designation of Hegge as a sexually violent predator and a credit-restricted felon means he will be required to register as a sex offender for life and serve at least 85 percent of his sentence, according to the Madison County Prosecutor’s Office. Local reporting also said search warrants in the investigation turned up roughly 140 files of child-abuse material, as detailed by The Herald Bulletin.
Hoodline covered the original sentencing in January, reporting the outcome of the multi-agency case in 91-year sentence for child exploitation. The latest social-media posts and photos serve as a reminder of the months-long work that went into the conviction. The Hamilton County Metro ICAC Task Force spans agencies across Hamilton, Hancock, Madison and Tipton counties, and those cross-jurisdiction partnerships remain central to investigating internet-facilitated crimes against children.
