TWO ARRESTS IN CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE MATERIAL INVESTIGATIONS
The Liberty County Sheriff's Office has arrested two Liberty County men this week in separate investigations involving child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Both cases began with CyberTips referred through the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
Jack Edward Littlejohn, 44
Investigators received multiple CyberTip reports tied to the same user account, indicating that illegal images and videos had been uploaded through an online messaging platform. Investigators identified a residence in Liberty County and the suspect, then obtained and executed a search warrant. Multiple electronic devices were seized, and a forensic examination found CSAM. Littlejohn was arrested on October 4, 2026, on five first-degree felony warrants for Possession or Promotion of Child Po*******hy Depicting Sexual Assault of a Child (Texas Penal Code §43.26(d)(3)(B)) and booked into the Liberty County Jail.
Kenneth Barski, 26
Investigators were assigned a CyberTip based on a report from Google about files uploaded on June 18, 2026. After confirming the files contained CSAM, investigators used subscriber and location data to identify a Liberty County residence and developed Barski as a suspect. A search warrant turned up electronic devices containing additional CSAM. Investigators obtained five warrants on the same first-degree felony charge. Troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol located and arrested Barski, and he was booked into the Liberty County Jail.
