A 42-year-old Mason County man was arrested Tuesday in connection with an ongoing Internet Crimes Against Children investigation, according to the Mason County Sheriff’s Office.
The suspect was taken into custody without incident at his place of employment Tuesday afternoon. Following the arrest, detectives served a search warrant at the man’s residence, where they reported recovering additional evidence.
While the Sheriff’s Office has not officially publicly identified the 42-year-old suspect, Mason County jail roster records show that Wesley L. Robinson was booked into the facility at 2:38 p.m. on Tuesday. He is currently being held without a release date.
According to the booking roster, Robinson faces three Class B felony sex offense charges under Washington State law:
- One count corresponding to RCW 9.68A.050(2)(B) (Dealing in Depictions of a Minor Engaged in Sexually Explicit Conduct in the Second Degree).
- Two counts corresponding to RCW 9.68A.070(2)(B) (Possession of Depictions of a Minor Engaged in Sexually Explicit Conduct in the Second Degree).
The Mason County Sheriff’s Office stated that probable cause for the ICAC arrest was developed during the course of their investigation, which remains active and ongoing.
The Olympic Herald will provide updates as formal charges are filed by the prosecutor’s office and more information becomes publicly available.
