Former Bruce police officer to spend 10 years in prison for child pornography
SUMMARY: Corey Harrelson, a 48-year-old former police officer and volunteer firefighter from Bruce, will serve 121 months in prison for child pornography possession. Harrelson's computer files contained explicit images and videos of over 80 known minor victims, some prepubescent. After his prison term, he will have five years of supervised release and is ordered to pay $28,000 in restitution to the victims. The FBI and the Mississippi Attorney General's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force conducted the investigation, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Roberts prosecuted the case. Safeguarding children from such individuals remains a priority for law enforcement agencies.
