According to court records, on March 5, 2025, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a cyber tip from Google that a user had child pornography in a Google Chat.
Some of the images included the sexual exploitation and abuse of prepubescent children.
An investigation later revealed Glapinski to be that user.
Glapinski was a family medicine doctor who treated both adults and children. In chats, Glapinski talked about sexually abusing female children and sharing child pornography.
On April 8, 2025, investigators from the Secret Service and Michigan State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a federal search warrant at Glapinski’s residence.
Glapinski was present during the time of the search and admitted to viewing, receiving, and possessing child pornography.
The examination of Glapinski’s electronic items found over 2,500 images and more than 150 videos of child sexually abusive material.
