by Jeff Pierson

U.S. Attorney Alice Martin was on local television news yesterday to announce the indictment of local photographer Jeff Pierson, 43, of Brookwood, Alabama.

He was charged with conspiring to transport child pornography in interstate commerce using a computer from January 2003 through 2004.

Since the story was not even news enough to the local bureau of the Associated Press to move a story, apparently, here's the press release.

FLORIDA 'CHILD MODELING' WEBSITE OWNERS INDICTED FOR CONSPIRING WITH ALABAMA PHOTOGRAPHER TO PRODUCE CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.

CNetNews did run this story about the case today: Federal case may redefine child porn.

Here are the links to Pierson's profile and solicitation and photography home page.

And here are some samples of his work.

This stuff may be fairly tasteless and appeal only to rednecks who like going to the races and driving fast cars.

But if this is the extent of what the Bush Justice Department has on the guy, then only in Alabama could this be considered pornography, and probably not even here.

Watch for a judge to throw this case out post haste.

Another loser case from Alice Martin.

That's what you get when you put the Christians in charge of Justice...
