Deputy Arthur Staples Charged with Distributing Child Porn


MANASSAS, Va.

A Prince William County sheriff's deputy has been charged with distributing child pornography after authorities say he traded a nude photo of an underage girl with an undercover Florida detective.

Manassas city police arrested 65-year-old Arthur Staples on Friday after Florida authorities charged him in a warrant with transmission of child pornography. Authorities say a search of Staples' home turned up pornographic images on his computer.

Staples is being held without bond and is awaiting extradition to Florida. Manassas police say additional local charges are possible.
