Investigators say a Des Moines man sexually exploited four children back in April, when he forced them to pose nude for photos.

Fifty-year-old Joseph Fultz was arrested Wednesday afternoon and booked into the Polk County Jail. He made his initial jail court appearance Thursday morning. Fultz is charged with four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and four counts of child endangerment.

Criminal complaints filed in the case claim the abuse happened on April 16th at Fultz’ Des Moines apartment. The four victims in the case are girls ages eight to 11.

The complaints say Fultz made the girls undress and took photos focusing on their genitals. Investigators found those photos on a thumb drive in Fultz’ bedroom.

A no-contact order has been put in place to prevent Fultz from contacting the victims.

On December 3, 2020, United States District Judge Stephanie M. Rose sentenced Joseph Lee Fultz, age 52, of Des Moines, to 324 months in prison for Production of Child Pornography announced United States Attorney Marc Krickbaum. Fultz was ordered to serve ten years of supervised release to follow his prison term and comply with sex offender registry requirements upon release.
The investigation began in May of 2019 when the Des Moines Police Department received a report that Fultz produced child pornography of four minors, ages 10 and under, while they were under his care. Subsequently, Des Moines police officers executed a search warrant at Fultz’s apartment where they seized his computers and electronic devices. The investigation showed that Fultz produced and possessed child pornography images of the four minors, as well as two additional children, including an infant. All six children were located and identified.
