BELLE FOURCHE — Two Belle Fourche residents have been charged with possession, manufacturing, or distribution of child pornography and solicitation of a minor after an anonymous source reported online communications to police between an adult male and a 15-year-old female.
Jeremy Rosales, 42, and his daughter, Caitlin Rosales, 19, were arrested Feb. 18 by the Belle Fourche Police Department, and each was charged with two Class 4 felonies related to the allegations.
Court documents reveal details about online communications between Jeremy Rosales and the 15-year-old female in which he allegedly asked the juvenile to send him nude photographs of herself.
The juvenile allegedly sent Rosales a topless photograph of herself showing her breasts, and he reciprocated with two photos of his genitals.
Rosales then allegedly asked the juvenile to join him in a hotel room to reportedly engage in a sexual act.
Caitlin Rosales allegedly encouraged the juvenile to send the nude photos and engage in sexual acts with her father.
During interviews with police officers, both Jeremy and Caitlin Rosales allegedly admitted to the allegations. Following the interviews, both were arrested and transported to the Meade County Jail.
Both have since been released on bond.
Both possession of child pornography and solicitation of a minor are Class 4 felonies, punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment in state penitentiary and a fine of up to $20,000.
The pair is scheduled for arraignment on March 24 at the Butte County Courthouse in Belle Fourche.
