The Dougas County Sheriff's Office has released a statement in connection with the report.

From the Douglas County Sheriff's Office in relation to the ICAC:
Currently, the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit (ICAC) consists of one detective that is supervised by the Special Victims Unit Sergeant. This ICAC detective gets assistance from SVU detectives on ICAC cases. Both the ICAC and SVU detectives follow-up on tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. These tips can be internet related crimes or other types of crimes where a child is a victim like child prostitution and child sex tourism.

The Denver Post notes that at least one other person is listed as a resident at the home searched:
"The Sheriff's Office did contact him this morning while he was at his house and he cooperated fully," said spokeswoman Deborah Sherman.

Sherman said the investigation is ongoing and declined to provide details about any specific allegations against Andersen. The search warrant has been sealed.

Proving who used the computer or computers in question is frequently a tricky part of Internet crime cases.Property records show at least one other person lives at the Larkspur home.

Hope this turns out to be untrue. Never want to hear someone is involved in something this heinous.
 
Im at work so I cant go into the actual articles. They wont open up for me. What are the accusations about (I know child porn). But like what is it saying since ya sayin they really bad. Got me thinkin he running a child porn ring in his basement.
 
How do people with child porn get discovered? Says they received a tip? From whom?

What is child porn? What if he was on a porn site that had an underage section but he was visiting a different section. What if a babysitter saw this in the history and then reported it. What if he clicked on a link to some crap.

I dunno... when you read stories like this your immediate reaction is OMG SICK BURN IN HELL, but there could be a lot of details we don't know of yet. His whole life could be done and maybe he doesn't even use the computer.
