A 23-year-old man who allegedly possessed child pornography was indicted Thursday for the crime.

Gabriel Quintin Pace, 23, no listed address, is charged with three counts of possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor, according to an indictment returned by a Madison County grand jury.

“It was child pornography involving the Internet,” said Richmond Police Sgt. Willard Reardon, public affairs officer for the department. “There were three photographs and subsequently he was charged with three counts. Due to the sensitivity of the case, this is about all I can tell you.”

Pace allegedly was found to be in possession of the photographs on Aug. 3, which depicted “a sexual performance by a minor, with knowledge of its content, character and that the performance was by a minor,” the indictment states.

The charge is a Class D felony, which carries a one- to five-year prison sentence. Pace could face up to 15 years in prison upon conviction.

The grand jury also returned the following indictments:

All three are charged with second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument — Campbell with four counts, Tevis with five counts and Osborne with one. Campbell also is charged with being a first-degree persistent felony offender while Tevis is charged with being a second-degree persistent felony offender.

If convicted, Campbell and Tevis each could face up to 20 years in prison and Osborne could serve one to five years. (RPD)

• Orders of dismissal were returned for Lonnie Durham, Cathy Flenner and Brett McIntosh.

A toe to spare
Pigs usually have four toes on a foot, but not always, Leland “Bud” Bennett of Whitlock Road, said he learned this week.
While preparing the head and feet of a pig to make souse meat, Bennett said he made a surprising discovery after removing two of the toes.
When he went to cut off the next two, there were three. A smaller, third toe was higher up the leg.
“I’m 84, and I’d never seen a pig’s foot with five toes,” he said.
