A 19-year-old Roseville man is accused in federal and state cases of producing and sharing child sexually abusive material, according to a federal criminal complaint and local law enforcement.
A Homeland Security Special Agent said investigators were alerted Feb. 25, 2026, after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) forwarded two tips from Kik -- a messaging app by MediaLab, that can keep users anonymous.

Kik allegedly reported that a user account, “chaoseje,” uploaded 102 files of suspected child sexually abusive material and claimed to have abused young girls, including content described as newly produced in February 2026, depicting the abuse of a 7-year-old girl.
Federal investigators said Michigan State Police’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force traced a reported Comcast internet address to a home on Flanagan Street in Roseville. Database checks showed Daniel Jacob Jansen lived at the address with other adults, court records said.
Investigators also linked a similar username, “caosejr,” to Jansen through CashApp. Police obtained a photo of a 7-year-old child and said they were able to identify her as the child depicted in the images.
Macomb Area Computer Enforcement detectives, the Sheriff’s Enforcement Team and the Michigan ICAC Task Force searched the home Feb. 25 and arrested Jansen, police said.
Officers seized Jansen’s phone and other electronic devices, along with clothing described as matching items seen in the reported images of the 7-year-old, and noted that parts of Jansen’s bedroom appeared to match backgrounds visible in the images.
During the search, someone known to the child was shown “sanitized” images and identified the child and locations in the home where the photos were taken.
Jansen was arraigned on March 2 in Roseville’s 39th District Court on multiple felony charges, including aggravated child sexually abusive activity and second-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Bond was set at $1 million cash or surety, with conditions including a GPS tether if released, no contact with the victim or anyone under 17, and is not allowed to return to the home, said investigators. He is now being held at the Sanilac County Jail.
According to court records, Jansen consented to federal detention on March 11, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 22, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. in federal court in Detroit.
