Assumption Man Accused Of Child Pornography Ordered Held Until Trial

An Assumption man accused of 20 counts of child pornography under the age of 13 will have to stay in jail until his trial. Nicholas Vaughn was in Christian County Court on Monday afternoon and detention was found appropriate. After arguments were heard, and release was denied, Vaughn waived arraignment, pleaded not guilty, and demanded trial by jury.  He also asked for time to hire private counsel. A request for the public defender was denied after a look at Vaughn's financial circumstances. Vaughn's first appearance with counsel will be on April 22nd, at 10 AM.
