Eugene A. Light (3/12/47) of Bronson became the subject of an investigation in late December when a tip was given to the Sheriff’s Office. Detectives worked in conjunction with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigative teams and determined Light was transmitting and receiving child pornography.
LCSO Detectives executed a search warrant at the home of Eugene Light on January 6, 2021 and as a result of this investigation arrested Light. He has been initially charged with twenty counts of possession of child pornography. Additional charges could be filed as this investigation continues. Light was present at his first appearance this morning and his bond has been set at $2 million dollars.
