Man whose porn site ran war dead photos gets probation

By ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published April 22, 2006


BARTOW - A man who ran a pornographic Web site that included grisly photographs of war dead taken by U.S. troops was sentenced Friday to five years of probation, his attorney said.

Chris Wilson, 28, pleaded no contest in January to five misdemeanor charges of possession of obscene materials. The state dismissed 296 other similar charges.

Wilson's Web site gave soldiers free access to pornography in exchange for posting photos from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Polk County sheriff's officials said Wilson's arrest in October stemmed from the site's sexually explicit content, not the pictures of war dead.
