25-year-old Lucas Vanwoert was indicted by a federal grand jury for possession and transportation of child pornography, transportation of obscene materials, and creating an animal crush video. An animal crush video depicts an animal being intentionally crushed, burned, or otherwise subjected to bodily injury. On September 26th, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Vanwoert's residence in Celina and seized several electronic devices that were later found to contain videos of child pornography, which involved young children, as well as animal crush videos. His case is being handled in the Northern Ohio Federal Court.
