Ex-summer camp manager pleads guilty to child porn charge
An Orange County man who worked at a summer camp for children pleaded guilty Friday to receiving child pornography.
Posted — UpdatedBruce Howard Aycock, of 1520 Camp Circle in Chapel Hill, will be sentenced in June, when he faces five to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000.
Aycock was arrested in December following a two-month investigation that investigators said began after the Dropbox online file-sharing service tipped off the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Orange County deputies searched the home and the camp offices and seized several desktop and laptop computers, digital cameras, a video camera, CDs filled with photos, external hard drives, flash drives and other electronic devices, according to search warrants.
New Hope officials suspended Aycock when they learned of the allegations, and he later resigned as the camp's program director. Officials said they was no evidence that any children at the camp were depicted in the pornography.
