Judge: 25,000 Child Porn Images Can't Be Used as Evidence

Burlington, Vermont - April 16, 2008

A federal judge has ruled police illegally seized evidence during a raid of a Vermont man's home as part of a child pornography investigation.

61-year-old John Perry Ryan is accused of having more than 25,000 pictures and videos of child pornography inside his home in Braintree.

But Judge William Sessions says agents did not properly fill out the warrant, so none of the images can be used as evidence.
