The West Covina Police Department has made an arrest in a child sexual exploitation investigation.

The man they arrested was La Mirada resident and 33-year-old Andrew Williams.

After several months of investigation, multiple police agencies including West Covina Police Detectives, LA Regional Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and members of the U.S. Marshals made an arrest on Aug. 3.

He was arrested for possession of over 600 images of child pornography.

Due to Williams' prior place of employment at a church, authorities believe that there may be physical victims.

The West Covina Police are asking for the public's assistance, and ask that anyone who might have information regarding the investigation come forward.
