LONDON, Ky. — A Pike County man accused of possessing child porn has seen his federal trial date delayed more than two months.

Charles Michael Hopkins, 34, of Virgie, is charged with possession of child porn, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

Police raided Hopkins’ home back in October, when they seized several electronic devices.

When they interviewed Hopkins afterwards, he first told them he was sent images by a person he met online. He said he deleted the images after discovering they were child porn.

However, court records say he later told police that he had saved some child porn images involving infants that he had received previously, but said it was only because he liked the adults in the images. He also reportedly admitted to sending child porn to others as a way to start conversations, but maintained that he never produced any of the images.

Hopkins was scheduled to go on trial April 6, but last week his attorney asked for a delay due to a scheduling conflict and to give Hopkins time to receive and consider a proposed plea agreement.

The judge agreed and reset the trial to June 22.
