 The Wise Central High School band director is facing multiple child pornography charges in Southeast Kentucky. Dalton Bates is charged with 20 counts of possessing or viewing matter portraying sexual performance by a minor, and he is also charged with distribution of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor. The arrest report says an online undercover Internet Crimes Against Children Investigation discovered that Bates had been using unnamed social media sites to message others about sharing material of child sexual exploitation. Both images and videos were found in Bates' account portraying minors in sexual acts. The report says that he admitted to operating the account and messages to investigators. He is currently being held in the Letcher County Jail on a $100,000 bond. He was set for an arraignment hearing this morning at 8 a.m.
