PHOTOGRAPHER JAILED ON CHILD PORN CHARGES; POLICE WITHHOLD NAME

(Connersville, IN)--In Connersville, a press release is expected to come at some point this week that will give directions to potential victims of child pornography.  A search warrant was conducted late last week as part of an ongoing local and federal joint investigation.  One man was taken to the Fayette County Jail and was being held without bond.  Connersville police have said they’re not releasing the man’s name.  The Fayette County Jail also refused Monday morning to give the man’s charges or confirm that he was there – even though that is generally considered public record – and abruptly hung up.  Although authorities won’t confirm it, the man is a local photographer.  His social media page on Monday morning remained full of professional photos of young children.  In promotion of his studio, he claims on social media to work well with children and infants.
