A Franklin County Municipal Court Public Defender was arrested Wednesday morning after a residential search warrant turned over photos depicting pre-pubescent females engaged in sexual acts.
The City of Grandview Heights posted on its Facebook page Wednesday that detectives with the city police conducted a residential search warrant as part of an investigation into the possession of child pornography.

Stephen Chinn was arrested at the scene on two felony counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor.

The investigation remains active.
