Firefighters in Texas and Illinois Facing Child Porn Charges

Two fire departments in different states are dealing with unrelated cases of firefighters being charged with child pornography-related offenses. In Dallas, driver-engineer Jesse McFall is facing a felony charge of possession of child pornography. He was arrested yesterday by the Dallas Police Department, following an investigation that included the FBI.

In East Moline, Illinois, firefighter Kyler DuPrey is facing federal child pornography charges. DuPrey was indicted on two counts of receipt and transmission of child pornography. He resigned his position effective today. More on that story here.
