Detectives located multiple electronic devices containing pornographic images of children, in a home in the 3500 block of Queenstown Road during the search, according to Detective Short.
After consulting with the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, Trussville Police were able to obtain warrants charging Kennedy with multiple counts of production of pornography with minors, dissemination/display of child pornography and possession of child pornography. He will be transferred to the Jefferson County Jail.
Additional charges may be added after a forensic analysis of the electronic devices, according to Detective Short.
