BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (WOOD) — A man who worked as a substitute teacher in the Battle Creek area has been arraigned on a child pornography charge.
Stephen Bridges, 56, was arraigned Wednesday on charges of possession of child sexually abusive materials and using a computer to commit a crime.
Police said they took three computers from a property on G Drive North. Officers said they don’t believe any of the pornographic photos they’ve found are local children.
The computers were taken as part of a search connected to Donald Johnston, who was charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct for an assault on a 5-year-old boy. He was arrested as part of an investigation into a child sex abuse conspiracy ring spanning several counties.
