Man gets 90 Days in Jail for Sexual Exploitation of a Minor

Last year, then 72-year-old John Brown Ramsey, Jr. of Manchester was arrested on 33 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. Manchester Police Investigator Butch Stewart served warrants on Ramsey to take his computer and send it to the TBI for testing. According to the indictments, Ramsey possessed the pornographic material.
In a plea agreement last week, Circuit Court Judge Vanessa Jackson sentenced Brown to serve 90 days.
According to Coffee County District Attorney Craig Northcott, Ramsey did not have a criminal past, and he has some mental issues due to him having strokes.
Northcott added that the images found on the man’s computer could have been from malware that was picked up while on the Internet.
Manchester Police said last year that they did not think any of the children shown on the computer images were local.
Ramsey will be on probation for a period of six years and will also be placed on the National Sex Offender Registry.
