Two people were arrested and are now facing charges in connection to the sexual battery of children, according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.

An Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, in coordination with the sheriff’s office, received cyber tips on June 5 from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about child sexual abuse materials, namely photos, being sent through Facebook by 24-year-old Nicholas Bassler Jr. and 24-year-old Sierra Campany, who live in the same Bradenton home.
