Los Angeles (KFI) - Authorities say 55 men, including a sheriff's deputy and at least one attorney, have been charged with possessing child pornography following an eight-month investigation.
The U.S. attorney's office says the suspects used peer-to-peer networks to exchange graphic images and videos, then stored the files on their computers.
All are charged with possession of child pornography. Some have been charged with additional offenses, such as production of child pornography and committing crimes while registered sex offenders.
U.S. attorney's office spokesman Thom Mrozek says those facing charges include San Luis Obispo County sheriff's Deputy Bryan Jon Goossens, and attorney Thomas Merdzinski of San Bernardino.
