CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Three men from Charleston face child pornography charges after a Sting Operation in Kanawha County.

The West Virginia State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force made the arrests Wednesday night.

Carl J. Bowlin, 18, Benjamin Blount, 23, and Joshua Blount, 23, are charged with possession of child pornography.

Investigators say the Digital Forensics Unit is also helping with the investigation and we're told more charges could be filed in the case.

All of the suspects are out of jail on bond. They face up to two years in prison and a $2,000 fine.

State Police say they're planning more sting operations in Kanawha County and in some of the surrounding counties.

I hear that since their daddy is a Mason he hired his Mason buddy lawyer friend and these guys are gonna get off scott free...apparently the whole family thinks this is some kind of joke, and that those computer geek 23 yr old mommas boys wouldnt ever do anything like that! Makes me wonder, what else have they done, that daddy (who just happens to work for the State of WV, is a Mason and practically the Mayor of Loudendale has done to keep these sweet boys out of jail?
