A Clay County man was arrested today and charged with possessing child pornography after West Virginia state troopers allegedly discovered the images on his home computer.
Jonathan Matthew Humphrey, 33, of Lizemores, was arrested by Trooper F. Hammack and members of the Clay County State Police detachment at about 11 a.m., according to State Police spokesman Sgt. Ken McCord.
McCord said troopers secured a computer at Humphrey's home that allegedly contained pornographic images of children.
Humphrey was charged with three counts of possession of child pornography, McCord said. He was released on $80,000 bond.
Hammack, a trooper stationed in Spencer, also works for a special Internet Crimes Against Children Unit that tracks child pornography over the Internet, McCord said.
