In September 2025, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (“NCMEC”). In the CyberTip, Microsoft Bing reported that a specified IP address had uploaded an image on September 20, 2025, that contained child sexual abuse material (“CSAM”). An investigator reviewed the CSAM image from the CyberTip and observed that the image contained four photographs showing a prepubescent female who appeared around age 6–9. Across the four photographs, the child [NAME REDACTED], standing on a chair nude, and sitting with her legs open to reveal her vagina.

In October 2025, the BCA received another CyberTip involving the same IP address and involving another upload of CSAM to Bing. Bing reported that the IP address had uploaded an image containing CSAM to Bing Image Search on October 4. An investigator reviewed this image and observed that it depicted a prepubescent female who appeared around age 7–10.

In addition, the BCA received a third CyberTip involving the same IP address as the other CyberTips. For that CyberTip, Bing reported that a specified IP address had uploaded CSAM to Bing Image Search on October 2. An investigator reviewed this image, which showed a prepubescent female who appeared around age 3–4. The child [NAME REDACTED] on a bed, naked from the waist down. The child has her legs spread apart and holds her knees back to expose her vagina and anus. Through investigation, law enforcement identified the address [ADDRESS REDACTED] in St. Louis Park, Hennepin County, Minnesota, as associated with the IP address from all three CyberTips.

Records associated with that address revealed four potential occupants, including Defendant ANDREW DWAYNE HALDEMAN, born on [DOB REDACTED]. On November 3, 2025, law enforcement executed a search warrant for the St. Louis Park residential address. There, officers located Defendant, his brother, his mother, and his father. Father told law enforcement that he has a cell phone that he never uses and that he does not know how to use a computer. Mother told law enforcement that she has a cell phone and a laptop that she uses to pay bills.

Mother reported that Defendant stays in the basement bedroom and that Brother sleeps on the couch in the downstairs family room. Mother explained that Defendant went to school for computer programming. Officers also spoke with Defendant. While officers informed Defendant about the purpose of the warrant and explaining that they knew that an unknown person at the address was viewing CSAM, Defendant stated, “It’s not anybody else, it’s me.” Brother told law enforcement that he was surprised to learn that officers had a warrant for CSAM. Brother did not suspect his parents or Defendant of viewing CSAM. Brother noted that Defendant moved to the home about a year ago.
