Local Fugitive Pleads Guilty To Child Porn Charge

Columbus Division of Police

A Columbus man has pleaded guilty to a charge of producing child pornography. 33-year-old Jeremiah Malfroid turned himself in last December after being featured on a federal law enforcement smartphone app and social media page. Police last year found hundreds of files of child pornography on his computer. Police say he fled to California and was captured thanks to the federal efforts.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
