Franklin and Hopkins County Deputies arrested 33-year-old Billy Joe Truss of Mt Vernon last August. Now, a federal grand jury has indicted him on five counts of production and transportation of child pornography. Truss was taken into custody after Hopkins County investigators received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Franklin County Deputies led to the discovery of approximately 68 files that contained child pornography, and some of the videos showed Truss having sexual contact with a three-year-old child.
