The former mayor of Lake View was arrested this month on 11 child-pornography related charges, state court records showed.
The charges against Paul Calhoun, who led the Tuscaloosa County town from 2016 until his resignation amid ethics charges in 2020, include producing pornography with a minor, attempted producing pornography with a minor and possession of pornographic material, records showed.
Neither an attorney listed for Calhoun nor the Tuscaloosa County assistant district attorney handling his case could be reached for comment by AL.com.
The charges in Tuscaloosa County District Court identified the defendant as 53-year-old Lake View resident Paul Anthony Calhoun. Several media outlets reported the defendant is the former Lake View mayor.
The charges stem from a July 2 search warrant of Calhoun’s laptop that yielded 10 images of child pornography, according to one of the charging documents.
