TEXAS CITY – A 20-year-old Texas City man was arrested Tuesday, after investigators say they found child pornography during a search of his apartment, according to a Galveston County Sheriff’s press release.

The Galveston County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit, working with the Houston Metro Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, executed a search warrant at the Windsor Estates Apartments on FM 2004. Detectives seized a cell phone and narcotics from the residence.

Authorities say the investigation began in July after the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) provided a cyber-tip to Detective A. Espinosa, who serves with the ICAC Task Force.

According to investigators, evidence on the seized device linked the suspect, Chase Busby, to child pornography. He has been charged with:

• Possession of Child Pornography (more than 100, less than 500 visual depictions)
• Possession with Intent to Promote Child Pornography
• Possession or Promotion of Lewd Visual Material Depicting a Child

Busby’s bond was set at $180,000. Additional charges related to narcotics are pending analysis. The case remains under investigation.
