RICHMOND, Ky. (LEX 18) — A Richmond man is in custody at the Madison County Detention Center on a $75,000 cash bond on charges of child pornography, according to a citation filed with Madison County District Court.

William P. Seavey, 32, was arrested by the Madison County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday, Mar. 11 around 7:30 p.m. and was charged with possession of matter portraying sexual performance by a minor under the age of 12.

The officer who filed the citation detailed that Seavey was allegedly associated with an online social media account which posted a video of a child, approximately 10 to 12 years old, performing a sex act.
