Vt girl's ex-stepdad charged in Ala. w/ child porn
BURLINGTON, Vt. --Alabama authorities have lodged child pornography charges against the ex-stepdad of a Vermont girl who was found dead last week.
Federal prosecutors made the charge public on Monday as 40-year-old Raymond Gagnon was in court on another charge -- obstructing justice -- in Burlington, Vermont.
The charges in Alabama are that Gagnon -- who was 12-year-old Brooke Bennett's stepfather for about five years -- had child pornography stored at his former home in Cullman, Alabama.
Federal prosecutors in say he also tried to access Brooke's MySpace account on or about June 26th. That's the day after Brooke was reported missing in Vermont.
