ASHLAND, Va. (AP) — A sheriff's captain who was originally charged with distributing child pornography has pleaded guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor, receiving no jail time in turn.



Baruch says the legal teams avoided a trial by agreeing to something that didn't involve sex offender registration.

He was arrested in June after investigators executed a search warrant. But defense attorney Peter Baruch says there was no document or image showing his client possessed anything illegal on his computer.

Did they lose it? Why did they charge him to begin with?

Nice reporting.

Was it a bogus charge or is he being given a get out of jail free card?

How often are mundanes that make the news ever only charged with “one” count?

That is the most likely scenario. He probably had something going with an underage girl, and that either went bad and she reported him, or someone who knew about it went after him. He must have made some LE enemies, otherwise there never would have been a raid of his house.

One thing that is absolutely certain is that the public will never know the real story.
