After receiving anonymous tips concerning child pornography, detectives from the Washington County police department and Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force members arrested Decius Christopher Duran, a freshman psychology major from Draper. Duran was living in the Abby Apartments, which is a part of DSU campus housing. According to a press release from Washington County Sheriff's Office, "a search warrant was executed on Duran's phone which revealed numerous images of pornographic material involving both male and female children. The images depicted sexual acts which involved adults as well as acts between two children." While being interviewed by the police, Duran confessed to being a registered sex offender due to an investigation in the state of Alabama. However, the Dixie Sun news has not confirmed his status. According to a press release Duran "is being held on $100,000 cash-onl- y bail pending his initial appearance in the 5th District Court." Jy1 Hall, DSU's director of public relations, outlined DSU's policy regarding students who have corn- mitted crimes and want to live in student housing. "As students fill out the application to live in campus housing, they are asked if they have any felony charges against them, if they are registered sex offenders, or are in the process of being convicted of an offense that would put them on see PORN page 3 , . i t i , f '4 ...... 1, ; 4 i g 2 o 0 , ( 1 ! - Decius Christopher Duran, an freshman psychology major from Draper, was arrested Nov. 2 for child porn.
