Child porn trial ends in guilty verdict

GAINESVILLE - The child pornography trial of a former Forsyth County sheriff's deputy has ended with his conviction.


A federal court jury in Gainesville convicted Milton Scott Pruitt Wednesday.

During the trial, the prosecution introduced evidence showing that numerous pictures of child porn had been found on Pruitt's home computer. Witnesses also testified they found other evidence of child porn activity on the computer.

The charges were filed after it was discovered that Pruitt had been accessing child porn on his patrol car's laptop computer.
