Babysitter Convicted on Child Porn Charges

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) _ A man who secretly took photos of a boy he baby-sat has been convicted of possession and production of child pornography.

A federal judge in Fort Worth on Monday convicted Bryan K. Dickson of Keller.

Prosecutors say Dickson, 46, in 1988 was convicted in New Jersey of sexual assault of a child he baby-sat. Further details were not immediately released.

Dickson faces 25 to 70 years in prison. Sentencing is Oct. 2.

Agents in March searched Dickson’s home on a complaint of child porn purchased via the Internet. Digital photos on Dickson’s computer disk were identified as a now-2-year-old boy that he baby-sat.

Prosecutors say Dickson sought baby-sitting jobs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and worked at child-friendly sites including the Dallas Zoo and Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine.
