(Radio Iowa) – A Marshalltown man faces 329 felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. An internet search engine company gave law enforcement a tip in 2023 that child sex abuse material was being downloaded at a specific web address. The Iowa Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force determined 65-year-old Michael Lynn Benson owned that online address.
Benson was arrested last Thursday outside his home in Marshalltown.
