mate’s family photos and recognized Davey holding a little
girl on his lap. The woman suspected the child was being

BRIDGES: more charges yet
bond lowered to $100K
From page 1A
afternoon. |
He is accused of receiving and distributing hundreds of
graphic child pornography images.
Levinson, in reducing the bond, set conditions that
Bridges is only allowed to be at his home and work and he
cannot have any devices that connect to the Internet in his
home and cannot be anywhere where there is Internet access.
Cleveland County Sheriff’s Captain Joel Shores said fur-
ther investigation by the FBI and area law enforcement agen-
cies resulted in the additional charges.
A second-degree sexual exploitation charge involves the
distribution and/or receiving of pornography material in-
volving minors
A third-degree sexual exploitation charge involves the
possession of the material.
‘Family members filled two rows of seats at the court hear-
ing Friday.
Clayward Corry, attorney for Bridges, petitioned the court
for the reduction in bond, saying that Bridges had no crimi-
nal record, had worked all his life in his family-owned busi-
ness in Kings Mountain, married for 30 years with a family
in Kings Mountain, and an active churchgoer.
Assistant District Attorney Beth Lari called the images
seized “the worst I’ve ever seen,” “demeaning and injurious
to children” and advocated that the $500,000 bond not be re-
duced. The judge announced the reduction in bond on Mon-
day with stipulations.
