How stupid can you get?
TAMPA, Fla. -- A Marine assigned to U.S. Central Command headquarters was charged with possessing child pornography, after he took two personal computers containing the images to a retailer for repairs, police said.
Sgt. Cody Lee Liberty, 24, was arrested Thursday at MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa police spokesman Joe Durkin said.
He was released from a Hillsborough County jail on $27,500 bail.
Liberty, a geographical intelligence specialist, joined the Marines in 1999 and has been assigned to Central Command since June 2004, a spokesman, Air Force Capt. Chris Karns, said.
Police said Liberty took two laptop computers to a CompUSA store for repairs in September.
A technician found pictures showing "obviously young children engaged in sexual acts" while working on one of the hard drives, Durkin said.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigators found more explicit material saved to the hard drive, Durkin said.
Police could not identify the children in the photos, which had been downloaded from the Internet, Durkin said.
According to police, Liberty told investigators he viewed the pornography but did not save the images to the hard drive.
Liberty does not have a listed telephone number and could not be reached for comment. It was not known if he had an attorney.
