Scott Air Force Base Navy reservist charged with child porn

A Scott Air Force Base Navy reservist was charged Monday with 10 counts of possession of child pornography.

Roger T. Lee, 41, was in possession of at least 10 photos depicting children performing sexual acts, according to charges filed in St. Clair County. Two of the charges were for possession of a photo of a child under 13 who was bound in sexual context. Six of the charges involved photos of children under 13, and four involved a teenager under 18.

Lee is a U.S. Navy reservist with the U.S. Transportation Command at Scott.

Lee had no prior criminal history in St. Clair County, or in Tampa, Florida, where he lived before he moved to Illinois. As of Monday evening, he had not yet been taken into police custody.

A grand jury will review Lee’s case to determine there is sufficient evidence to move forward with the prosecution.
