Arrest In Livermore Falls Linked To Child Exploitation Case

A man from Androscoggin County was arrested Wednesday in Livermore Falls, authorities say, in connection with a child exploitation case multiple agencies have been working on for weeks.

Shannon Moss, with the Maine Department of Public Safety, says 40-year-old Jacob Hisock was arrested at his home in Livermore Falls and charged with Sexual Abuse of a Minor and Possession of Sexually Explicit Material.

"The charges stem from a month-long investigation involving the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit, Sabattus Police Department, Oxford County Sheriff’s Office, and the Maine Warden’s Service. Hiscock was transported to the Androscoggin County Jail."

In the meantime, authorities are asking the public for help. They're trying to identify other individuals who may be involved in the case, and they've created a link for folks to visit to establish contact with a detective.
