A 37-year-old Airman at Tucson's Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is facing charges of child sexual exploitation of a minor, Tucson police said.
Karl Alexander Streets was arrested Monday following an investigation that started in July 2024, Tucson police said Tuesday in a news release.
"During the investigation, Streets attempted to arrange the purchase of a 6-year-old child for sexual purposes," the release said.
Police investigators coordinated with the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations, culminating in early April 2026 when investigators obtained additional search warrants for Streets' on-base property in which investigators say they found child sexual abuse material on his electronic devices, the release said.
He was booked into the Pima County jail on suspicion of 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, the release said.
