Three people were indicted by a federal grand jury on child pornography charges. 

Milton resident Charles Cunningham, 39, was charged with distribution and possession of child pornography.  The two-count indictment alleges Cunningham distributed  the material and had it on his computer.

Another federal indictment charged Huntington resident Raymond Leake, 34, with attempted enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity and distribution, receipt, and possession of child pornography.  Leake, according to the indictment, tried to entince and coerce a minor to engage in sexual activity in late December 2012 and early January 2013.
  
Another uninvolved case alleges Paul Jenkins, 33, produced child pornography. The indictment alleged Jenkins "persuaded, induced, enticed, and coerced a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct."
   
"Cunningham faces up to 30 years in prison, a $500,000 fine and lifetime supervised release if convicted. Leake faces up to life in prison, a $1 million fine and lifetime supervised release if convicted. Jenkins faces up to 30 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and lifetime supervised release if convicted," according to a release from US Attorney's Booth Goodwin's office.
