RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - A Richmond man has been charged with possessing child pornography after police responded to a call of a person taking pictures of children.
On Sunday, June 19, an officer was called to the 700 block of North 32nd Street after getting told a “suspicious male” was photographing children. The officer arrived and found the man who had fled the area on foot.
