FARGO (KFGO-KVRR) — A Fargo man is in Jail after police say a Youtuber tipped them that he was in possession of child sex abuse materials.
The YouTuber, Jidon Adams, allegedly set up a decoy account posing as an underage female. This account made contact with Jerry Shope, and the conversations became sexual.
Shope allegedly admitted to police that he had images of underage girls on his phone, but said that was because he was being scammed. He claimed that women were sending him the material until he sent them gift cards in return, and that he had only saved them onto his phone so he could show his case worker.
Shope was arrested and taken to Cass County Jail. He’s been charged with Possession of Certain Materials Prohibited.
Police say Adams gave them a hard drive with the sexually charged messages between Shope and their decoy.
