Columbus man pleads guilty to child pornography charge

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – A Lowndes County man pled guilty to a federal child pornography charge.

Nathan Kyles pleaded guilty to having a cell phone that had pictures or video of minors engaging in sexually explicit behavior.

There was a second charge that was dropped in the plea deal.

Lowndes County investigators were tipped off in 2018 about Kyles possibly storing the images of children simulating or having sex.

A warrant led deputies to a Dropbox Internet storage account where the pictures were found.

Kyles will be sentenced in November.
