A Carmel man has been arrested for possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child.  An investigation was launched last August after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security notified the Putnam County Sheriff's Office that they had been monitoring an IP address for possessing child exploitation videos.  A search warrant was obtained last October and over 75 electronic devices were seized.  Deputies analyzed the devices and identified the computer and used responsible.  Last Tuesday, 45-year old Jason Dance was arrested on three felony counts.  He was arraigned and released for a future court appearance.
