Indicted Child Porn Distributor Used Facebook

Six men indicted for attempting to view or distribute child pornography did some of their dirty work on Facebook.

Six men indicted for distributing or attempting to view child pornography apparently did some of the dirty work on Facebook.

The primary defendant, James Paul Byrd, posted as a woman on the site and created two groups for sharing pictures of prepubescent females. Five co-defendants also posed as women and joined the groups, which circulated a total of nine images.

The criminal activity lasted from January through early April of this year. Some of the details in this story, such as when Byrd was arrested and indicted, and the pending trial date, vary among the media outlets that have reported on the developments.
