(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man did not plead guilty today, as expected, for having naked images of children on his computer.  74 year old Jimmie Jackson allegedly had close to a thousand images on his laptop.

 

According to court documents, Jackson took his laptop in to have it fixed about two years ago.   Police say a technician discovered numerous explicit images of children on the hard drive that was locked up from a virus.

 

Jackson is charged with six felony counts.   During a hearing in La Porte Circuit Court this morning, in which Jackson was offered the chance to plead guilty, he chose to stand trial on the allegations.

 

He was given a July 12 trial date.
