A captain at the state
prison in Yuma has been indicted on 10 felony counts of sexual
exploitation of a minor for allegedly possessing child
pornography.
William Edward Kangas of Somerton was
arraigned Thursday on the indictment and entered a not guilty
plea through his lawyer.
He was arrested on Oct. 30
after an investigation which began when he brought his
computer to another person in Yuma to have it repaired. That
person reportedly found the child pornography images on his
computer and called police.
They searched his home and
seized the computer and other evidence.
Kangas, 51, is
on administrative leave from his job at the state prison in
Yuma. He's being held in the Yuma County Jail on $50,000 bond.
