Evidence thrown out in child porn case

Print More

A major child pornography case appears to be falling victim to faulty police work.

Judge William Sessions of the U.S. District Court for Vermont has ruled that agents acted illegally when they seized evidence during their search of a Braintree home.

Authorities say the search turned up more than 25,000 pictures and videos of child pornography. They arrested and charged 61-year-old John Perry Ryan in the case.

But the judge has ruled that the search warrant was not properly filled out, so the evidence cannot be used.
