No indictment in child porn investigation

PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) - A former Jackson County Sheriff's Department employee assigned to the Internet technology department is no longer facing felony charges of possession of child pornography

Court records show a grand jury determined there was insufficient evidence to indict Jeffrey Trehern on five charges of exploitation of a child.

The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/P9Vdd9 ) Trehern was arrested in November

At the time of the arrest, Sheriff Mike Byrd said investigators trained to track child predators over the Internet did an exam of Trehern's home computer and found images of children engaged in sexual activity.

District Attorney Tony Lawrence said, while the forensic examination of Trehern's computer revealed questionable activity, the examiner found no child pornography on the device.
