Man indicted for child porn

A 23-year-old man who allegedly possessed child pornography was indicted Thursday for the crime.

Gabriel Quintin Pace, 23, no listed address, is charged with three counts of possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor, according to an indictment returned by a Madison County grand jury.

“It was child pornography involving the Internet,” said Richmond Police Sgt. Willard Reardon, public affairs officer for the department. “There were three photographs and subsequently he was charged with three counts. Due to the sensitivity of the case, this is about all I can tell you.”

Pace allegedly was found to be in possession of the photographs on Aug. 3, which depicted “a sexual performance by a minor, with knowledge of its content, character and that the performance was by a minor,” the indictment states.

The charge is a Class D felony, which carries a one- to five-year prison sentence. Pace could face up to 15 years in prison upon conviction.
