Federal investigators say they found video and photo files depicting abuse material involving multiple minors as Bragg remains detained.
- On Thursday, May 28, federal prosecutors announced additional charges against Joseph Andrew Bragg, 29, of International Falls, including kidnapping and production of child sexual abuse material involving a second minor.
