Former Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Corrections Officer Leon Brooks Sr. was arraigned in Federal Court Thursday on charges of possession of child pornography. Dressed in a striped polo, with his court-ordered ankle bracelet emitting a frequent low-battery beep, Brooks pleaded not guilty to all four counts against him. Brooks, 39, waived a full reading of the indictment -- which contains graphic language describing the videos he is accused of possessing -- but Assistant U.S. Attorney Diidri Robinson detailed his potential punishment. If convicted of all four counts against him, Brooks faces 75 years in prison and up to a $1 million fine. Prior to his indictment, Brooks worked for JSO for 13 years. He resigned Nov. 1 with a medical disability retirement. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, his offenses occurred between June 19, 2012, and May 20, 2013. Read More. |
