News Release – Region 2 October 15, 2012 Alabama Man Arrested for Possession of Child Pornography On October 15, 2012, the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Investigations with assistance from the Louisiana Attorney General's Office, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection conducted a search warrant on the towboat Eric Bunce while docked in the vicinity of Intracoastal Park Road in Calcasieu Parish. The warrant was obtained in conjunction with an Operation Child Watch child pornography investigation. The investigation revealed that child pornography was being downloaded from various locations between Florida and Louisiana. During a search of the vessel, investigators discovered a computer and cell phone belonging to 57-year-old Kenneth Dickey of Mobile, Alabama. These items were examined and found to contain child pornography. During questioning, Dickey admitted to downloading child pornography. Dickey was arrested for possession of pornography involving juveniles and was booked into the Calcasieu Parish Correctional Center. If convicted, Dickey faces up to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. The mission of Operation Child Watch is to rescue children from the potential abuse of child predators by targeting those individuals with sexually explicit images and/or videos on their computers. This is an ongoing effort, in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies.
