A 63 year-old Adairsville man will be sentenced in October after pleading guilty yesterday in federal court to receiving child pornography. Jerald Wayne Anderson faces a minimum of 5 years and a maximum of 20 years imprisonment. He could also face a lifetime of supervised release. Anderson posed as a 13 year-old girl in a Yahoo chat room and asked a Broward County, Florida, undercover police officer posing as a 14-year-old girl to exchange “modeling” photos. Between October and December 2007 Anderson was in contact with the officer and another undercover officer in Pennsylvania at least three times. Investigation of computer IP addresses and Yahoo user information led agents to discover approximately 140 CDs and DVDs with images of children, some under the age of 5, engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
