Madison police said the investigation started when a New York resident contacted the department and filed a complaint against Beatty for soliciting nude photographs of a juvenile.

After investigating the allegations, detectives procured a search warrant for Beatty’s residence and seized electronic devices, including a computer. Pornographic images of children were found on Beatty’s computer.

He was arrested and transported to the Madison County Jail on a $15,000 bond.
