A lengthy investigation led by Pct. 4 Constable Kenneth “Rowdy” Hayden’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Detective led to this morning’s arrest of a suspected child predator in Girard, Ohio.
Gary Edward Klink, 45, of Girard, Ohio, is charged with two counts of Induced Sexual Performance by a Child Under the age of 14 and Possession of Child Pornography (videos)
The warrant for Klink’s arrest resulted from a coordinated effort between Constable Hayden’s Office, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, the Girard Police Department and the Trumbull County, Ohio Prosecutor’s Office. Girard Police served the warrant and took Klink into custody.
Constable Hayden said the arrest highlights the importance of partnerships across jurisdictions.
“Thanks to the hard work of our investigators, and the teamwork of multiple agencies, we’ve ensured a dangerous predator is off the streets and can no longer harm the most vulnerable members of our community.”
