The investigation began in 2020 when McCallum’s son spoke to police after he reportedly found child pornography on his father’s tablet. Police executed a search warrant and found physical and digital files that allegedly depicted years of sexual abuse of three children by McCallum.
According to authorities, a young girl was sexually abused by McCallum for almost a decade. He documented the abuse on VHS, his cellphone and with Polaroid photos.
Another VHS documented a young boy being sexually abused by McCallum and abuse of an infant girl was captured on VHS and on his phone.
At the time, he was charged with 10 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, two counts of felony firearm, one count of child sexual abuse, one count of extortion and one count of assault with a dangerous weapon. He was denied bond.
After years of litigation, McCallum pleaded guilty on June 18 to all charges, plus one count of possession of child pornography.
