Norman man indicted for child pornography

Charles Raymond Kelley, a 61-year-old Norman man, was indicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday on six counts of possessing material involving the sexual exploitation of minors.

According to the indictment, Kelley, in October 2006, knowingly possessed images of child pornography, stored on a computer hard drive, that depicted the "lascivious display of the genitalia" of an approximately 10- to 12-year-old girl, a 10-year-old girl, two images of 7- to 8-year-old girls, a 5-year-old girl and a 10-to-12-year-old girl.

Each count carries a possible sentence of 10 years imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine, with no less than five years supervised release.

John C. Richter, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma, announced the federal grand jury indictments Wednesday. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Randy Sengel.
