Computers, cameras, phones seized during child pornography investigation in Conway
Police took about a dozen computers, phones and cameras as possible evidence during a house search of a man accused of possessing child pornography.
Conway police charged Derick Lee Herrington, 34, with three counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, and he is being held in J. Reuben Long Detention Center in lieu of $45,000 bond.
In October, Conway police were told of a case involving a man, later they identified as Herrington, who uploaded an image of child pornography, according to an incident report. Officers traced the IP address to Herrington and in late March conducted a search at his home.
Officers seized dozens of items from his residence including several computers, cameras, computer storage drives, CDs and a VHS tape that was labeled “academy video yearbook,” according to police records.
Each count of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
