WAVE 3 TV Louisville, KY | Postal Service Employee Arrested On Child Pornography Charges
Member Center:
(LOUISVILLE) -- A postal service worker in Jamestown was arrested after officials discovered he was using company computers to view child pornography.
Morris E. Hall, 58, was arrested at the post office on Thursday on a charge of receiving child pornography, the U.S. Attorney's office said.
Federal authorities began investigating Hall in October 2005 after receiving information that a Postal network user was typing in certain keywords while doing an Internet search. Authorities said the network user's computer number matched the one assigned to all.
The investigation revealed Hall did searches for sites that contained pornographic material depicting children involved in sex acts. According to authorities, Hall had retained some sexual images in electronic folders on his computer.
Hall is scheduled to appear in a detention hearing on May 24. He faces a minimum of five years in prison if convicted.
