Special agents assigned to TBI’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Squad arrested and charged a Lewisburg man accused of sending child sexual abuse material.
Agents received information from the Montgomery County, Texas ICAC Task Force on Nov. 27 that Lance Robert Brock, age 30 (DOB 11/11/1993) used an online chat application to transmit images consistent with child sexual abuse material.
On Dec. 6, with the assistance of the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department, Homeland Security Investigations, and the Middle Tennessee Fugitive Task Force, TBI agents executed a search warrant at Brock’s Lewisburg home and arrested him. Brock is charged with one count of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor and one count of Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor. Brock was booked into the Marshall County Jail on a $60,000 bond and a court date has been set for Dec. 19 2023 at 9:00 a.m.
On Nov. 30, we reported a similar story on Mitchell Tompkins. We reached out to Detective Gaylon Thomason with the Lewisburg Police Department to ask if there is a connection between the Mitchell and Brock cases. Thomason could not confirm nor deny a connection. Josh DeVine, Communications Director for the TBI responded to our inquiry and said, “These cases do not immediately appear to be related.”
