ICE releases photos of US citizen from Nevada charged with 4 child sex crimes

WASHINGTON - ICE has released photos of Carl Schilbe, an alleged child sex predator and U.S. citizen from Nevada charged with three counts of attempted child sexual exploitation and one count of obtaining child sexual abuse material. ICE's Homeland Security Investigations led the investigation that resulted in Schilbe's four-count indictment.

"If convicted, Schilbe faces up to 20 years in prison," said ICE Director Todd M. Lyons. "I'm incredibly proud of the ICE Homeland Security Investigations special agents who investigated this case. They're heroes - and they know that protecting kids from online sex predators is one of our agency's most important missions. Many Americans think ICE's work is strictly immigration related, but that's just not true. ICE officers and agents enforce more than 400 laws and statutes."

The Department of Homeland Security leads the Cyber Crimes Center, which targets criminals who use the internet to exploit vulnerable kids and teens.

ICE previously released information on Schilbe's case, but photos were not available for publication at that time.

If you or a loved one has been victimized by Schilbe or have any information about this case, please contact ICE at 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423) or by completing the online tip form.
