A persistent Utah investigator on a child pornography case helped nab a Cleveland man who now faces 150 counts of sex crimes against children.

Utah Internet Crimes Against Children Special Agent Allen White originally developed a case against 27-year-old Dino Prste of Salt Lake City. From that investigation, White found emails from Prste to 49-year-old Darin Casper in Ohio. He tipped off Ohio investigators, who arrested Casper after a search of his home.

Casper's wife ran a day care out of their home, but investigators say there's currently no evidence that any children at the day care were photographed, abused or otherwise exploited. The matter is still being looked into.

"As a result of Agent Allen White going that extra mile, those kids were saved, because Ohio had no idea this was going on in Mr. Casper's home," said Patty Reed, field commander for the ICAC task force.
