In a press release issued on Thursday, the El Monte Police Department distributed 
the following press release regarding the arrest of Robert Nesler, 67:

 "On Tuesday, September, 1, 2020 at approximately 
0700 hours, members of the 
Sierra Madre Police Department and the 
El Monte Police Department Internet 
Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task 
Force Detectives served a search warrant 
at Nesler’s residence (100 block of Sunnyside 
Ave.) in the city of Sierra Madre."

Nesler is currently out of custody and 
scheduled to appear in court for arraignment 
on December 1, 2020.

"EMPD ICAC Detectives learned through 
investigative resources that Nesler was 
distributing and in possession of child 
pornography."

The EMPD ICAC Task Force is a member 
of the Los Angeles Regional Internet 
Crimes Against Children Task Force who 
works cooperatively with a vast network 
of local, state, and federal partners to pursue those who violate crimes of 
child exploitation, according to the EMPD release.

According to research cited by the FBI, 82% of offenders who view child 
pornography either have been or will be in the future, offenders of physical 
sexual assault on minors.
