| Tad Jeremy Costin |
It’s being called one of the worst cases of child sex abuse that prosecutors have seen in a long time. It involves a 42-year-old man named Tad Costin. He is facing four charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Police say that it was the parents of Costin’s girlfriend that discovered SD cards in a box belonging to Costin on October 20. The girlfriend’s mother inserted one of the cards into a laptop and was shocked by disturbing images of Costin sexually assaulting young girls. The cards were then turned over to police.
In all, authorities say they have found hundreds of photographs of Costin sexually abusing young girls, believed to be between the ages of four and 7. Some of the photographs are believed to date back to the 1990’s, while others are as recent as 2011. As of this writing, authorities believe there to be around 15 victims.
Harris County Assistant District Attorney Kathryn Kahle told media that some of the young girls shown with Tad Jeremy Costin appeared to be drugged.
Investigators are working to identify the victims and say that they believe there are many other victims. Police are asking for the public’s help, as well as any other victims who may have spent time at Costin’s former residence in Clear Lake.
Photos of the clear lake resident, as well as other pictures can be found on Costin’s Personal Blog.
