Deputies arrest man accused of having child porn

UNION COUNTY, N.C. — Union County deputies have arrested a man accused of having child porn.

Sheriff’s deputies charged Jason Brown with four counts of third-degree exploitation of a minor.

According to an arrest warrant, Brown possessed material containing a representation of children between the ages of 8-10 years old engaging in sexual activity.

The arrest comes a little more than a year after he was charged in Stanly County with indecent liberties with a child and other sex crimes that he was scheduled to appear in court for this week.

According to court documents, Brown has asked for a court-appointed attorney.

He is being held under a $650,000 bond and is scheduled to be back in court on June 5.
