Children’s Author Pleads Not Guilty In Porn Case

PORTLAND, Ore.—A children’s author who also volunteered at an Oregon children’s library has pleaded not guilty to multiple child pornography charges.

Investigators say 50-year-old Kevin Bath had been trading child pornography with individuals in Washington state and Ohio and that his computer and data storage contained more than 100 files of still images of child pornography, many involving very young children.

Bath writes by the name K.P. Bath and is the author of the Castle Cant series of mysteries. He was arraigned yesterday in Portland, Ore.

Bath’s lawyer said his client had no criminal record, had never been accused of harming a child and has undergone therapy several times a week for months.
