Dad indicted on child porn charges, but allowed to live at home with kids (Dover, New Hampshire)

Just additional evidence that those in authority do not take child sexual abuse and child pornography seriously. If they did, then why would they be allowing dad DAVID POLLEY to live at home with seven kids?? On just $5,000 in bail?

Repulsive.

Father of eight faces charges for child porn possession

Updated: Wednesday, February 26 2014, 11:14 PM EST

DOVER, N.H. (WGME) -- A Sanford man and father of eight has been indicted on more than 50 charges of possessing child pornography.

Police said the images were found on David Polley's computer at Liberty Mutual in Dover, New Hampshire, where he worked at the time.

Dover Police started investigating in June after being alerted by Liberty Mutual. According to court documents, investigators seized dozens of flashdrives, CDs, DVDs, and a laptop for analysis. A New Hampshire state lab uncovered over 3,000 images and 1,185 videos of children being sexually abused.

Prosecutors said 500 of the children were identified by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, or NCMEC. Another 2,000 children are still unknown.

According to court documents, Polley, 52, was released on $5,000 cash bail in August and is allowed to live at home with his wife, and seven of his eight kids.

Last week, a grand jury indicted Polley on 52 counts of possession of child sexual abuse images.

"We charged the 52 videos, that did not encompass the entirety of everything, so there may be additional charges next month," said Deputy County Attorney Alysia Cassotis.

When CBS 13 went to Polley's Sanford home to hear his side of the story, a woman opened, and then immediately shut the front door.

Polley's defense attorney could not be reached for comment.

Polley is scheduled to be arraigned on March 6.

Court documents show Polley is no longer employed by Liberty Mutual. A spokesman said the company is cooperating with law enforcement.
