BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky man is facing child porn charges after asking a sheriff's deputy to fix his computer.

The Daily News (http://bit.ly/1NmHEzB) reports 63-year-old William Breece Dudley was indicted on four counts of possession of child pornography.

According to records from the Warren County Sheriff's Department, Deputy Robert Boyden said he was trying to repair Dudley's laptop computer when he saw a list of files from a server known for child porn that were infected by a virus. After seeing images, Boyden contacted a supervisor and officials executed a search warrant, which led to charges.

Warren County Sheriff's Department spokesman Stephen Harmon said the two men were acquaintances and that Boyden has some IT knowledge.

It wasn't immediately clear whether Dudley has an attorney. He told police he thought someone else infected his laptop with child porn.
