**Child Sex Abuse in Toledo, Ohio**

A disturbing case of child sex abuse has come to light in Toledo, Ohio. William Robert Collins, 32, has been indicted for allegedly taking photos of himself sexually assaulting a 2-year-old child and another young girl.

According to court documents, Collins posted numerous sexually explicit images of young girls, including images of himself holding his penis. The hand in one of the photos has unique tattoos with a skull on his left thumb and the word 'dilligaf' written on his left hand. Subsequent investigation revealed Collins had tattoos matching the tattoos in the photos.

The investigation began earlier this year when a person using the screen name 'biggdikkdaddy' was found to be a member of multiple online groups sharing thousands of images of children, including infants and toddlers, being sexually assaulted. Subpoenas revealed the username was registered to Collins of 633 E. Central Ave. in Toledo.

Collins was present when a federal search warrant was executed at his home on July 10. His cell phone was examined, and investigators found approximately six images of child pornography believed to be produced by Collins. The images are depictions of Collins sexually assaulting a two-year-old and include his hand with the distinctive tattoos.

Collins also allegedly sexually assaulted an unidentified female child on November 12, 2018, and created visual depictions of the conduct, according to the indictment.

**Mandatory Facts:**

The defendant, William Robert Collins, is facing two counts of production of child pornography and one count of receipt and distribution of child pornography. The investigation is ongoing, and if convicted, Collins' sentence will be determined by the Court after reviewing factors unique to this case.

Collins' current status and sentence are not specified in the press release. This case was investigated by the FBI and the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office, and it is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracey Ballard Tangeman.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. Defendants are entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government's burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
