Shelby D. Weston has been charged with six counts of child pornography.

According to court information, Weston “possessed three photographs and one video of a child the defendant should have reasonably known to be under the age of 13.”

Four of the new counts are Class 2 felonies, punishable by three to seven years in prison.

The two other new charges are Class 3 felonies punishable by between two and five years in prison if convicted.

According to court information, those two charges stem from two photographs of a child the defendant according to information in the charge “should have reasonably known to be under the age of 18.”

Weston is scheduled for a pre-trial December 19 on the previous charges of grooming and traveling to meet a minor and at that time will be advised of the additional charges against him. He remains in Fayette County Jail with bail set at $250,000.
