A 76-year-old in Aberdeen was one of two people arrested in separate Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigations in Grays Harbor County this past week.

According to the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office, deputies arrested the man on Nov. 1 at a home on E 1st Street.

The 76-year-old was arrested for five counts of first-degree dealing in depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct and five counts of first-degree possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.



The suspect is also a registered sex offender stemming from a previous conviction.

Additional charges could be added.

Four days later, a 42-year-old Everett man was arrested for a separate ICAC investigation.

According to the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office, the man was booked into the county jail for communicating with a minor for immoral purposes and viewing depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

“These investigations require significant time, dedication, and attention to detail. We appreciate the hard work of our deputies and detectives, along with the assistance of our partner law enforcement agencies. Protecting children takes teamwork, and we’re grateful for everyone who contributed to these investigations,” the Grays Harbor Sheriff’s Office said.
