CORYDON, Ind. — A freelance photographer of southern Indiana youth sporting events has been charged with nine felony counts of possessing child pornography.

Stephen Brockman of Greenville was charged Tuesday in Harrison Superior Court after a county police officer reported seeing pictures of nude children ages 5 to 10 on an open laptop computer while Brockman slept in a Corydon restaurant Nov. 14. Court records say a search that turned up numerous photos of nude and partially nude children engaged in sexual conduct

Harrison County Prosecutor J. Otto Schalk tells The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., (http://cjky.it/umujnW ) that most photos appeared to have been downloaded online.

A woman identifying herself as Brockman's sister said the family had no comment and hung up the phone when asked if Brockman had an attorney.
