PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Pike County man who was arrested on child porn charges back in January has now been indicted by a federal grand jury.

Lonnie James Maynard, 53, of Raccoon, has now been formally charged with one count of producing child porn and one count of possessing it. The indictment alleges Maynard coerced a boy into engaging in sexually-explicit conduct to produce photos or videos.

An affidavit filed in the case outlines how Maynard came to authorities’ attention. It describes a child giving Maynard’s cell phone to a woman and telling her it contained child porn.

After the woman informed police, a digital review of the phone, as well as Maynard’s computer and iPad, turned up seven videos and 133 pictures of child porn, including some of two local children. The review also discovered Snapchat conversations in which he shared pictures with them and described sexually abusing at least one child.

If convicted, Maynard faces up to 10 years in prison for the possession charge, but a mandatory minimum of 15 years for the production charge. The production charge carries a maximum sentence of 30 years.

Maynard is currently being held without bond in the Pike County Detention Center.
