GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A Rockford-area man has been indicted by a federal jury for possessing child pornography, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Michigan announced Wednesday.

Bradley Arkesteyn, 28, was most recently employed as a Forest Hills Public Schools custodian, where he cleaned multiple buildings. He was arrested March 20 and placed on administrative leave.

Court documents say Arkesteyn posted child porn in a social media group and admitted to an undercover FBI agent that he was attracted to children.

“Every image of child exploitation is a crime, whether possessed, viewed, or distributed,” U.S. Attorney Mark Totten said in a statement. “My team will continue working with our law enforcement partners to hold offenders accountable.”
