Former Dubuque Man Arrested For Child Pornography

A former Dubuque man now living in Texas was arrested Saturday on 23 charges, including for child pornography and sexual exploitation of a minor. 44 year old Gian Sanagustin of Cedar Park, Texas, was arrested Saturday at the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center on warrants charging 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, 10 counts of possession of a depiction of a minor in a sex act and three counts of identity theft. Reports say that Google officials reported to National Center of Missing and Exploited Children on June 12, 2019, that child pornography was being uploaded from two email addresses and two cellphone numbers associated with Sanagustin. The associated IP address was traced back to a Dubuque hotel. A search warrant on Sanagustin’s devices revealed numerous images and videos of nude males believed to be under the age of 18 engaging in sex acts.
