MORGAN COUNTY, Ala. - Jason Heath Putnam of Decatur has been charged with 30 counts of possession of child pornography and intent to distribute, according to the Morgan County Jail's booking page.
The 47-year-old was booked into the Morgan County Jail on Wednesday afternoon.
According to online court records, a search warrant was executed at 1928 Red Sunset Drive in Decatur around 9 am on October 1. The warrant was issued following concerns of an ongoing child sex abuse material investigation.
The personal computer of Putnam was seized and a forensic analysis was conducted, revealing digital files with obscene material of a "person under the age of 17," court documents say.
Putnam was arrested by special agents of the Attorney General's Office.
Bond has been set at $300,000. If convicted, Putnam faces a penalty between one and ten years for each count of possession.
