24 Jan 2007 MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE – Federal authorities have indicted a 53 year old Arkansas corrections officer on child pornography charges. Federal agents arrested Bruce Leldon Chunn of Batesville at an East Memphis motel Saturday. Investigators say Chunn thought he was meeting a 14 year old girl and her 13 year old friend for sex. Chunn, whose online name is “lonewolf3606”, set up the meeting through an internet chat room, but the teenage girl he met was actually an undercover Memphis police officer. Chunn is charged with traveling across state lines for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct involving a person under 18 years of age. He is also charged with using a computer to persuade a minor to engage in sexual acts and with transporting and shipping child pornography via computer. Chunn faces up to 30 years in jail and a $250,000 fine on the sex charges and up to 20 years and $250,000 on the child pornography charges. www.myfoxmemphis.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=2160331&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.2.1 |
