Local Youth Coach Facing Child Pornography Charges

Federal prosecutors say a volunteer youth baseball and softball coach in Westerville has been arrested on child pornography charges. 50-year-old Bryan Lehman appeared in court today on charges of producing, receiving, distributing and possessing child pornography since November 2010. A judge ordered him to have no contact with children. Prosecutors say  he downloaded more than 25 images onto his home computers, and made a pornographic video involving a 5-year-old child that he knew. The youth league says Lehman was a coach in the spring, but has since been suspended.

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.
