Earlier this month, North Platte police received information from law enforcement in Washington County regarding a social media profile they were investigating. Investigators told police that some communications from this profile consisted of sexual activity involving minors.
Based of this information, on August 22, police executed a search on the Kari Bock residence in the 100 block of North Allen Avenue.
Police say they found Bock to be in possession of a digital image that depicted minors as “portrayed observers” to sexually explicit conduct.
Bock was placed under arrest and jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center. She’s been charged with possession of child pornography.
The investigation began in Kennard, Nebraska.
Authorities there arrested 32-year-old Eric Schulkey for allegedly trying to entice hundreds of women into engaging in illegal and inappropriate acts with children.
Authorities in Washington County say Bock and a woman from Topeka, Kansas exchanged photos and videos with Schulkey.
It is unknown if Bock will face charges in Washington County as well.
Police say Schulkey contacted over 600 Facebook accounts and engaged in conversation with at least 30 to 40 individuals, most of whom were women.
The investigation is ongoing.
