{Charleston, West Virginia}...Monday, Kanawha County Circuit Court Judge Paul Zakaib sentenced George Anderson of St. Albans, a former state Child Protective Services employee, to four years home confinement on child porn charges. Anderson had pleaded guilty to four counts of having sexually explicit images of children on his computer. Prosecutors were seeking the maximum 8 years in prison for Anderson. Assistant Kanawha County prosecutor Erica Lord said Anderson admitted he was sexually aroused by the images, and he is a danger that needs to be locked up. Ronnie Sheets, Anderson's lawyer, pointed out that Anderson did not have a criminal record and he was abused as a child. Sheets also said Anderson dealt mostly with adults while working with CPS and had not held a position where he had regular contact with children for eight years.
