National Cyber Security FounderAn individual who possesses multiple images of child pornography on a computer can only be convicted of one count of possessing such images, the Court of Appeal for the Third District ruled yesterday.
The court ruled that nine of 10 counts on which Timothy Donald Hertzig was convicted of possessing child pornography under Penal Code Sec. 311.11 must be dismissed. The panel said Hertzig’s possession of 30 video images constituted only a single violation of the statute.
