Cannon airman faces child porn charges

CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) - The Curry County sheriff's department has re-arrested a Cannon Air Force Base airman on 100 additional counts of manufacturing child pornography.

Senior Airman Zebulon Benne was initially charged in August with 50 counts of sexual exploitation of children and 10 of manufacturing child pornography.

Sheriff's investigators say a preliminary scan of the 24-year-old airman's computer revealed 50 images of children engaged in sexual acts. The computer was seized and more images were found during a complete forensic scan.

Benne is being held at the Curry County Adult Detention Center in lieu of $100,000 bond.
