Nursing home resident faces child porn charge

A man living in a nursing home in Eldon has been charged with possession of child pornography.

Court documents show Jerry Archer Sr., 68, is believed to have committed the crime in October 2013.

A Jefferson City Police Department probable cause statement shows a CD was recovered out of a rental computer in Jefferson City that Archer had rented.

Archer admitted the CD was his and that there were pictures of naked people on it, but said he was unaware that there were pictures of nude children on there.
