Miley Cyrus Among Reported Victims In Hamilton County Child Porn Case

Earlier this year, Hamilton County authorities found photo's of three-young girls on Michael Wayne Campbell's computer.  Those photos led to 31-charges of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor.

During Campbell's preliminary hearing today, his attorney took those photo's to task.  "There's no photographs or depictions of any of these three minors in a nude fashion or any other type fashion?" he asked.  "No not with their actual body no," replied Detective Michael Cox.

Cox testified the faces of the three victims had been cut out of normal pictures and placed on the nude bodies of more mature females.  Cox says Campbell's "statement about the photographs that he altered was that he wanted to see what they would look like as adults."

Detective Cox says two of the girls are local, a ten-year old and a 12-year old.  The other victim appears to be teen sensation Miley Cyrus.  Campbell's attorney asked Det. Cox "at what age were these photographs of Miley Cyrus?"  Det. Cox replied "I'm not 100% sure at the time those photographs were taken of the facial features that were altered, but she's currently 16-years old."

Investigators could find no evidence that Campbell had any inappropriate contact with the three youngsters, but that may not matter.  Assistant District Attorney Dave Denny says "when you have the face of a small child affixed to a nude body of a mature woman, its going to be the states position that this is for sexual gratification and that this is simulated sexual activity."

Campbell reportedly told authorities he didn't know what he was doing was illegal.

A judge bound Campbell's case over to the grand jury.  He remains free on more than $100,000 bond.

Campbell's attorney say he'll argue the validity of the charges if the case proceeds further.

DEFCON 2!!! CHILD PORN(not)!!! CAUGHT ANOTHER MAN!!! CAUGHT ANOTHER MAN!!! A MAN DID IT!!! ONLY CATCH MEN DOING THIS SORT OF THING!!! RED ALERT!!! RED ALERT!!! CALL CNN AND SELL YOUR CRAP STORY FOR YOUR OWN CAREER ADVANCEMENT!!! The United States Supreme Court has already ruled on this type of material. If your Assistant District Attorney cannot respect the ruling of The U.S.S.C. then he should consider another career...instead of using his office to subvert the law of the people. Oh, uhhh...Michael? How did you come to even have the opportunity to search Mr. Campbell's computer? "Anonymous tip-off"? "Cooperating Witness"? Or just another you-got-lucky-shot-in-the-dark-unwarranted-hacks-from-the-convenience-of-your-desk-at-the-station-using-Mr-Campbells-high-speed-connection-without-his-knowledge?

Mind telling 300 million taxpayers how you came to search Mr. Campbell's property in the first place? Let me guess - anonymous tip? Cooperating Witness (which in truth is usually a false witness)? Strictly off the record hacking so you can search the contents of the drive using the subscribers bandwidth? This is how criminals on public payroll can manipulate the investigative process, in order to deceive the judicial process...and all for their own glory. Apparently the detective, the assistant D.A., and the Judge have no respect for the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling on this type of material. RE: "when you have the face of a small child affixed to a nude body of a mature woman, its going to be the states position that this is for sexual gratification and that this is simulated sexual activity." Oh you speak for the State? It's the States "position" or the States interpretation? Because usally interpretation precedes a position. And the State is in the business of reading minds now? I think it's your position - for your crap story you sold to CNN for your own career advancement. FACT: There are ZERO victims in this matter. Your just begging for public-fear-bandwagon-hero-points.


I would imagine that a news

I would imagine that a news organization such as yourself could spell "photos" correctly. "Photo's" is the possessive form.
