Ex-Lee sergeant pleads not guilty to child porn

A not guilty plea was entered in U.S. Circuit Court in Fort Myers today on behalf of a 24-year veteran of the Lee County Sheriff's Office accused of possessing child pornography.

Russell "Rusty" Graham, 47, of North Fort Myers, is charged with six counts of possession of photographs of sexual performance by a child. He also was fired after his arrest in May.

Graham, who was a sergeant in the K-9 unit, had been with the LCSO since 1981. The K-9 unit is part of the LCSO Special Operations Unit.
