The sheriff's office indicted Robert Pott enger on Tuesday for 18 counts of endangering children, eight counts of importuning and four counts of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. The indictment comes after deputies from the sheriff's office were dispatched Dec. 10, 2024, to a home in the 5600 block of Malsbeary Road in Williamsburg Township for reports of "disturbing content" found on two cell phones used by a juvenile. The sheriff's office said the juvenile's mother found explicit photos, videos and sexually suggestive messages allegedly sent by an adult man, who deputies later identified as Pottenger.During their investigation, detectives with the sheriff's office examined all involved electronic devices and found that Pottenger had not only been engaging in sexually explicit communication with the juvenile, but he was also attempting through Snapchat to meet them in person. The sheriff's office executed multiple search warrants allowing full access to both phones, a completely digital record of communications as well as IP address information tied to Pottenger. Sheriff Christopher Stratton said, "This case highlights the importance of online safety, and the proactive steps parents and law enforcement must take to protect their children." An arrest warrant has been issued for Pottenger, who remains at large, and his whereabouts are unknown. The Clermont County Sheriff's Office is working with the Kentucky State Police, Pulaski County Sheriff's Office and the Science Hill Police Department in Kentucky to apprehend Pottenger. Anyone with information about his location is asked to contact the Clermont County Sheriff's Office at 513-732-7510.
