James Donovan indicted

Commonwealth's Attorney Kathryn Hendrickson today announced the arrest of James Donovan, 26, of Flemingsburg, in Fleming County, on 5 counts of distribution of child pornography, 4 counts of possession of child pornography, and tampering with physical evidence, all Class D felonies that carry a penalty of 1-5 years imprisonment.

The arrest on a Fleming County Indictment warrant is the result of an investigation by Attorney General Jack Conway's Department of Criminal Investigation, Cyber Crimes Unit. After identifying a Fleming County computer IP address that was actively possessing and trading suspected child pornography, DCI obtained and executed a search warrant on Donovan's residence. Donovan allegedly attempted to destroy the digital data on his computer. The Fleming County Sheriff's office arrested Donovan on Wednesday, June 3.

Donovan posted $1,000.00, 10% of his $10,000.00 bond. He is prohibited from use of any computers or being around anyone under the age of 18. He is scheduled for arraignment before the Fleming Circuit Court on June 17, 2009.

A charge is merely an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
