A 46-year-old Georgetown man is behind bars after Indiana State Police detectives traced a string of tips from a Google account to a home on Ferber Court, culminating in a search warrant and an arrest last Thursday. Aaron Scott Frost now faces two counts of possession and/or dissemination of child sexual abuse material, both Level 5 felonies under Indiana law.
According to WBIW, the Indiana State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force opened its investigation in May after receiving 12 CyberTips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Those tips indicated an unidentified person had uploaded images depicting suspected child sexual abuse material to a Google account. The task force is based in Sellersburg, and detectives there eventually identified Frost, who resides in Georgetown, as the suspect.
The tip pipeline that flagged Frost's account is built into federal law. Under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A, electronic communication service providers and remote computing service providers like Google are required to submit a CyberTip report to NCMEC as soon as reasonably possible after obtaining actual knowledge of suspected child sexual abuse material on their systems, according to Law.Cornell.Edu. NCMEC then routes actionable tips to state and local law enforcement, and in 2025 alone its CyberTipline processed more than 20 million such reports nationwide, per MissingKids.org. The same source discusses changes in electronic service provider reporting.
Search Warrant Executed on Ferber Court
Investigators obtained a search warrant for the Ferber Court residence, and troopers along with assisting agencies executed it last Thursday, the report states. Frost was taken into custody following the search and the ongoing investigation, then transported to the Floyd County Jail. The report does not identify the assisting agencies.
The Sellersburg-based ICAC task force has a statewide investigative role, according to The Crothersville Times. The report describes multiple agencies joining state troopers on a single search warrant.
What Frost Could Face in Floyd County Court
Floyd County Superior Court handles felony criminal cases, per IN.gov. Under Indiana Code § 35-40-2-6, a Level 5 felony conviction carries a potential prison sentence ranging from one to six years, with an advisory sentence of three years, along with a possible fine of up to $10,000, as detailed by Banks & Brower.
The allegations in this case involve child exploitation. The potential legal consequences of a conviction would depend on the applicable law.
It remains unclear whether formal court records, an initial hearing date, or a bail determination have been entered in Frost's case, as those details were not available at the time of the report. Whether federal prosecutors might pursue concurrent charges given the interstate nature of cloud storage uploads also remains an open question.
How the Statewide Task Force Operates
The Indiana ICAC Task Force is a multi-agency task force overseen by Indiana State Police, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The task force investigates and prosecutes individuals who exploit or attempt to entice children online. Its work involves online exploitation, solicitation or enticement-type crimes against children.
Parents of internet-related crime victims should contact their local Indiana law enforcement agency, while Hoosiers more broadly can report crimes against children directly to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The NCMEC website is identified as a resource for those seeking to file a report.
