911 worker arrested for child porn

An employee of Metro 911 in Charleston, West Virginia was charged with child pornography and suspended from his job without pay. James Sorgman was arrested after a search of his home turned up several child pornography images on a computer, including images of his daughter taken when she was between 12 and 14.

Sorgman was a 911 dispatcher for 16 years before being promoted to the administrative staff working on the county's mapping program.

The West Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children task force first discovered child pornography had been downloaded from a computer at Sorgman's home. The Kanawha Bureau of Investigation then took over the investigation. When officers searched his home, Sorgman admitted to downloading and saving several files of child pornography.
