On Tuesday, Jan. 13, a 55-year-old male identified as Robert Dean Shaffer II, a registered sex offender, was arrested for possession of child pornography, in Rupert. This arrest was made by members of the Greenbrier County Sheriff’s Department following an ICAC investigation in which Mr. Shaffer was discovered to have solicited, acquired, distributed, and possessed large quantities of child sexual abuse material over an extended period. Shaffer was arraigned before the Greenbrier County Magistrate and remanded to Southern Regional Jail pending a $100,000. cash only bond. Additional charges are pending related to this investigation.
Members of the WVSP ICAC Task Force, Southern Virginia ICAC Task Force, Pennsylvania State Police BCI Computer Crime Unit, Greenbrier Valley Drug and Violent Crime Task Force, Greenbrier County Sheriff’s Department, West Virginia State Police, Lewisburg Police Department, WV Parole Office, and the Greenbrier County Probation Office all assisted with this investigation.
Sheriff Baker said I would like to commend the members of the Sheriff’s Office and all those involved in this investigation for a job well done. We will work diligently to ensure the safety of our children, and tirelessly hunt those who would do them harm.
