On Tuesday, law enforcement officials from the Huntsville Police Department, the FBI, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, and the Madison County Sheriff’s Office collaborated to apprehend 53-year-old John David Higgins, a resident of Huntsville. This operation was initiated following a tip-off that indicated the presence of child sexual abuse material at his residence.
As a result of the investigation, Higgins now faces serious charges, including two counts of possession of child pornography, sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12, and first-degree possession of marijuana. The authorities are continuing their efforts to address and combat such offenses in the community.
