Jurors were not convinced that a former Forsyth County, GA,
Sheriff's deputy was not guilty of viewing child pornography on his
work and home computers. A federal jury found Milton Scott Pruitt guilty July 22 on two counts of receiving child pornography. Witnesses for the prosecution had previously argued that Pruitt used
his work-issued account to tap into the county server to look at images
of child pornography kept in another investigator's case file.
Tami Loehrs, a computer forensics expert for the defense, testified that she did not find images of child pornography on Pruitt's county-issued laptop computer. No evidence that Pruitt had downloaded the images was presented, but witnesses said the officer opened the files in March 2007. Pruitt was fired from the sheriff's office in May 2007.
