A former Camden County sheriff's deputy has been indicted by a federal grand jury on child pornography charges.
Leonard Jerome Wilson, 39, formerly of Camdenton, was charged in a two-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Jefferson City on Dec. 21. That indictment was made public Monday upon Wilson's arrest and initial court appearance in South Carolina.
Wilson remains in federal custody and will be transported to the Western District of Missouri to face charges.
Wilson was employed as a Camden County sheriff's deputy at the time of the alleged offenses.
The federal indictment alleges that Wilson received child pornography between April 26, 2015, and July 17 of last year. Wilson also is charged with possessing child pornography on July 17.
