Forsyth County Deputy Indicted On Child Exploitation Charges

Thursday, August 21, 2008

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. -- A former Forsyth County deputy is in legal trouble. A federal grand jury indicted Milton Pruitt on child exploitation charges.

Prosecutors said the 40-year-old used the Forsyth County computer server to receive and view child pornography. The images had been gathered as evidence in the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office's child exploitation investigations.

If convicted Pruitt could face up to 50 years in prison.
