Derrick McKee Arrested for Child Porn

A 29-year-old Summerfield man was arrested Wednesday on 12 counts of possessing child pornography.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office received a tip from America Online on July 17 stating Derrick W. McKee sent e-mails in early 2006 that may have contained pornographic images of children, according to a sheriff’s report.

Deputy Michael Dodd went to McKee’s residence at 16345 S.E. 97th Ave. Road on Wednesday to question him. McKee admitted sending the e-mails and consented to a search of his computers, according to the report.

One one computer, Dodd found 30 photographs and 21 videos suspected to be child pornography, the report said.

McKee showed Dodd a second computer, which he said he used to download child pornography before he gave it to his mother and bought a new one.

Dodd took both computers as evidence.

McKee told Dodd he used the file-sharing program Limewire to download the child pornography. He said he has been looking at it for several years and didn’t know how many of the illegal files were on the computers, according to the report.

Dodd arrested McKee and took him to the Marion County Jail, where he remained Thursday.
