Dover – A Delaware Child Predator Task Force investigation into the online distribution of child pornography has resulted in the arrest of a Kenton man, Attorney General Beau Biden announced today.

“Child predators use technology to target children in every corner of our state and beyond,” Biden said.  “We’ll continue to act to keep our kids safe.”

An online undercover investigation by Task Force detectives identified a subject who had been using the Internet to sexually solicit minors.  Investigators identified that person of interest as 63 year-old Paul Nonne of Kenton, Delaware.  On August 29, a search warrant at Nonne’s residence on Whitetail Run in Kenton was executed by members of the Child Predator Task Force.  During the search multiple computers and other digital media were seized and an initial forensic examination of the seized evidence recovered multiple images of child pornography.

Based on the ongoing investigation, detectives obtained another search warrant for Nonne’s work space at his place of employment, Ashland, Inc., located on Hercules Road, Wilmington.  That search warrant was executed on August 29 with the assistance of Ashland officials and recovered evidence including multiple USB thumb drive memory devices.  A forensic examination of the evidence revealed numerous images of child pornography.

As a result of the investigation, Nonne was arrested on August 29 and charged with 12 counts of dealing in child pornography.  He was arraigned via videophone by JP Court #2 and was taken to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in lieu of $600,000 secured bail.
