MILAN, Michigan — A Minnesota fugitive sought on charges involving the manufacturing and distribution of material involving young children is finally behind bars after being located and captured in Michigan.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said U.S. Marshals took William Guy Amick II into custody in Milan, Mich. on April 30. Amick was wanted on 13 felony counts including using minors in sexual performance, soliciting a child to engage in sexual conduct, and possession of pornographic work involving a minor.
Investigators said the incidents involve multiple victims between the ages of newborn and 7 years old.
BCA officials said in a news release that Amick lived in the communities of Mabel and Rushford in Fillmore County for about two years, until May 2023. Investigators say he receives money from people who support his online activities, adding that he engaged victims by using a female identity online and interacting with men to create child sexual abuse material involving the children of those men.
William Amick is currently being held in the Washtenaw County Jail until he is extradited to Minnesota.
Law enforcement is asking anyone with information on Amick or anyone else who may be involved in illegal online activity involving children, to contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline or by calling 800-843-5678.
