Mother Fights 'Pornographic' Book

A Gwinnett County parent is trying to get a book she thinks is inappropriate for teenagers taken off school shelves. The book, "Night Talk" by Elizabeth Cox, is about a friendship between a black and a white girl during the civil rights movement. But parent Laura Booth says the book contains graphic sex scenes and "reads like pornography." A committee at South Gwinnett High School denied Booth's request in November, saying the book's instructional value outweighs her concerns.

No bond for officer's husband

A federal magistrate judge has ordered a police officer's husband held without bond in a porn case. 47-year-old Terrill Crane was indicted for photographing a minor engaged in sexual activity.

Federal authorities say the Department had some of the pictures seven years ago but took no action.

Former sheriff's deputy free on bond

A northeast Georgia sheriff's deputy arrested on child pornography charges has been released on bond. Jason David Gaub was fired from the Barrow County Sheriff’s office when he was charged with 20 child exploitation counts.
