Twin Lakes, Wis. – Two Twin Lakes men have been arrested and charged with multiple counts of possession of child pornography following separate investigations by the Twin Lakes Police Department (TLPD) and the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.
Arrests and Charges
Nathan H. Bollow, 20, and Micah D. Griffiths, 20, were taken into custody in January 2025 after search warrants were executed at their respective residences.
Bollow was arrested on January 9, 2025, at his home in the 800 block of Ridge Circle and charged with eight counts of possession of child pornography. Each charge carries a possible sentence of up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
Griffiths was arrested on January 24, 2025, at his residence in the 300 block of East Hunt Avenue and charged with two counts of possession of child pornography. He faces the same minimum and maximum penalties.
Investigation and Findings
The arrests stemmed from cybercrime investigations that uncovered illegal content linked to the suspects’ online accounts. The content included young children engaged in sex acts with adults.
Authorities say Bollow’s case began in November 2024 when police received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Investigators traced suspicious activity on a messaging app back to Bollow’s residence. A search of his electronic devices led to the discovery of numerous illegal files, resulting in his arrest.
In Griffiths’ case, investigators were alerted in December 2024 when Dropbox, an online storage service, flagged illegal content uploads. A forensic review of Griffiths’ online history reportedly revealed his involvement in distributing explicit material. Law enforcement later confirmed his direct link to the account and obtained a search warrant for his residence.
Authorities also noted that both suspects had an interest in explicit “furry” content, a subculture that involves anthropomorphic animal characters, as well as bestiality pornography. However, bestiality content was not part of the formal charges in this case.
During the execution of the search warrants, Kenosha K9 Iris, an electronic storage detection dog, were present during the search warrant executions to aid with finding hidden electronic evidence. Her handler, Kenosha Police Detective Deates, assisted in locating data stored on the suspects’ devices, which provided crucial evidence in the investigation.
Statement from Twin Lakes Police
Chief Katie Hall of the Twin Lakes Police Department commended investigators for their diligent work, emphasizing the importance of protecting children from online predators.
“There is no higher priority than the safety of our children. Our officers, in partnership with the ICAC Task Force, work tirelessly to ensure that those who exploit children are held accountable. We remain dedicated to seeking justice for victims and creating a safer community for all.”
The department credited the ICAC Task Force, Kenosha Police Department’s K9 Iris, and her handler, Detective Deates for their assistance in the investigation.

Both suspects remain in custody as the investigation continues.
