Dubuque Man Arrested For Possessing Lewd Videos and Photos

A Dubuque man faces charges after police reported that a Facebook-prompted investigation revealed he had photos and videos of underage girls performing sex acts. 28 year old Dustin Shaw was arrested Friday on a warrant charging two counts of possession of depiction of a minor in a sex act. A report says that Facebook intercepted a video sent from Shaw’s account showing a man sexually assaulting a young female and reported it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. That organization provided a report to Dubuque police in August 2019. In December 2019, police reported interviewing Shaw. He admitted that he should not have sent the video and that the girl appeared to be younger than 18 years old.
