  • ICE Homeland Security Investigations arrested Casey Goslin, 46, on Oct. 16 after a joint investigation with Tucson police into alleged livestreamed child sexual abuse involving children supplied by traffickers in the Philippines.
  • Goslin faces federal counts that include one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of sexual abuse of a minor, with a detention hearing scheduled for Oct. 31.
