PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) - A 27-year-old Latimer man has pleaded guilty to downloading child pornography to his computer in March 2010.

The Sun Herald reports (https://bit.ly/1tZ1hq1 ) Richard Dean Thompson pleaded guilty Monday to six counts of exploitation of a child and will be free on bond until he is sentenced July 14.

District Attorney Tony Lawrence objected to Thompson being released after pleading guilty.
