Charles Lynch, director of the Defense Information Systems Agencybs Internet Protocol version 6 transition program, was arrested March 8 and indicted in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia the next day on one count of possessing child pornography. According to a statement by the DOD Inspector Generalbs Office, court documents allege that Lynch had been operating a peer-to-peer file- sharing program on a computer in his office at DISA. Agents confiscated several computers and more than 1,000 CDs from Lynchbs office. Agents found child pornography in computer file folders, the IGbs statement said. Lynch, 44, is on leave without pay from DISA. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison. The investigation is being conducted by the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the DISA OIG. Officials with those agencies, as well as the U.S. Attorneybs Office, declined to comment on the ongoing investigation. In apparently unrelated cases, a Homeland Security Department official was arrested earlier this week for soliciting sex over the Internet with a minor. And last week, federal agents seized computer equipment from the desk of a NASA official March 29, based on information developed during a U.S. Postal Inspection Service undercover investigation of Internet trafficking in child pornography.
