ST. GEORGE — A man was arrested on 100 counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor following an 18-month investigation that began with the Utah Attorney General's Office in December of 2022.
David Michael Thibodeau, 63, was arrested May 15 by Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force agents and booked into Purgatory Correctional Facility facing 100 first-degree felony counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, according to the affidavit filed in support of the arrest warrant that was unsealed on Tuesday.
The arrest stems from an extensive investigation that began in December 2022 when a computer with a geolocation in Utah was found to be actively sharing files containing child sexual abuse images with other online users.
