Boy Scout Leader Pleads Guilty to Child Porn Possession

A Lyons man who worked for the Boy Scouts of America in the Ovid area has pleaded guilty to federal child porn charges.

Russell Ruth pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography.

Federal prosecutors say between March and June of last year, Ruth uploaded five files containing child pornography to a Yahoo! Server.

Yahoo! intercepted the files and reported the files to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

Investigators traced the images back to Ruth. A search at his home found electronic devices containing over ten thousand images and 600 videos of child pornography
