LAKELAND - It wasn't the gruesome photos on Chris Wilson's web site that got him into trouble with the law. It was explicit sexual images and videos, Polk County authorities say.
This afternoon, Wilson, a former cop who made headlines for allegedly providing free porn to soldiers in exchange for photos that included shots of mangled bodies, was charged with hundreds of obscenity counts.
``In my 33 years in law enforcement, this was the most horrific, vile, obscene material that I have ever seen,'' Sheriff Grady Judd said.
``It is beyond the normal person's wildest imagination.''
Wilson operates a web site where most customers have to pay to view pornography. But soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan were reportedly given free access for sending in photos that were apparently taken in the war zone, officials have said."
