A Caledonia Correctional Institution officer faces 15 counts of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography, according to a federal court indictment.

 

The indictment filed March 17 alleges James Kelly Hubbard of Roanoke Rapids from February of 2006 to September of last year received jpeg, bmp and mpeg files depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The images include a 9-year-old girl posing nude, a 5-year-old engaged in sex acts with her brother and an avi file depicting a 12-year-old girl committing incest along with other untitled files.

The indictment charges Hubbard on or about October 28 of last year possessed a computer with digital images of a minor engaging in sexual activity.

According to federal court records filed in the Eastern District of North Carolina, Hubbard, who has worked as a correctional officer since 2000, is scheduled for a detention hearing Friday.

Caledonia Superintendent Grady Massey said the prison is awaiting word from the state Department of Correction on Hubbard’s employment status.
