Youth group leader involved in livestreaming child sex abuse in Arizona, feds say
A 46-year-old youth group leader has been arrested after being accused of having child sex abuse material in Arizona, federal officials said.
Casey Goslin, of Phoenix, a youth group leader with multiple religious organizations, was accused of being involved with a platform used to livestream child sexual abuse, according to an Oct. 21 news release by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The children in the material were provided by sex traffickers in the Philippines, which led ICE Homeland Security Investigations agents to acquire a search warrant, officials said.
The electronic devices seized during the search revealed Goslin used the usernames “live:.cid.bbdbec6f18b26922” and “live:.cid.de5ca094f7bdd45” when online, officials said.
He was arrested on charges of attempting to produce child pornography and possession of child sexual abuse material, officials said.
Due to his online presence and being a youth group leader, officials are asking for help in identifying potential victims.
If a child has been in contact with Goslin, officials urge the public to contact the ICE Tip Line at 866-347-2423 or use the ICE Tip Form.
