Child pornography investigation leads to 3 arrests and toddler taken from New Caney home, says Montgomery County Pct. 3

NEW CANEY, Texas (KTRK) – Authorities seized a toddler from a New Caney home and arrested three people Tuesday following a child pornography investigation.

The Montgomery County Police Office’s 3rd Precinct said officers were executing a search warrant for the home when they discovered the toddler as well as several animals.

The house was uninhabitable and covered in animal urine and feces. The youth welfare office took the baby away and the animals were taken away by animal control.
