Wilmington – A Delaware Child Predator Task Force investigation into the online distribution of child pornography has led to the arrest of a Laurel man, Attorney General Beau Biden announced today.

“Thanks to the specially-trained staff of our Child Predator Task Force and our close cooperation with New Jersey law enforcement, we acted quickly to identify an individual who had access to children, build the necessary evidence to make an arrest, and take this individual off the streets,” Biden said.

The Task Force investigation was initiated after receiving a report from the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice, which uncovered evidence linking the online distribution of child pornography between a New Jersey subject and a subject in Delaware who was identified as 40 year-old Douglas A. Little of Laurel.  As a result of the Delaware investigation, on September 5 detectives took Little into custody as he was leaving for work and a search warrant was executed by Task Force detectives and a uniformed trooper from DSP Troop #5 at Little’s residence in the 100 block of Carvel Avenue in Laurel.  During the search, multiple computers, a cell phone and numerous digital storage devices were seized.  An initial forensic examination of the seized evidence recovered multiple files of child pornography.

As a result of the investigation, Little was arrested on September 5 and charged with 25 counts of dealing in child pornography.  He was arraigned via videophone by JP Court #2 and was taken to Sussex Correctional Institution in lieu of $500,000 cash bail.
