Mid’s child porn court-martial postponed
Posted : Tuesday Jul 8, 2008 11:34:24 EDT
The court-martial of a Naval Academy student accused of storing child pornography on his personal computer has been postponed until next month, an academy spokeswoman said Monday.
Midshipman 1st Class Michael Pollard is charged with receipt, possession and attempted distribution of child pornography stored electronically on computer equipment.
Academy spokeswoman Judy Campbell said the opening of Pollard’s trial, which was to have begun Tuesday, has been moved to Aug. 5 at the request of his defense attorney.
At Pollard’s April 28 Article 32 hearing, then Midshipman 1st Class Mikoto Yoshida testified that he found a video file titled “Boy Party”, that featured “two naked, adolescent boys moving toward each other” and fan fiction accounts of sexual encounters between three of the brothers on the television show “Malcolm in the Middle” on Pollard’s computer when he logged on to watch a television show during a class break.
Yoshida, who shared a suite with Pollard and three other midshipmen, testified that he consulted with two of the roommates before going to his class officer to report what he had found.
Pollard’s computer was seized later that day.
