LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – An Arkansas political consultant who once served as
the spokesman for the Arkansas Democratic Party has been accused by undercover
federal agents of receiving and possessing child pornography.

Harold Moody Jr. pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday in a federal court
in Little Rock. He didn’t immediately respond to a request by The Associated
Press for comment.

According to a federal affidavit, Homeland Security Investigations was
conducting an undercover investigation of child-exploitation chatrooms when
agents found an individual later identified as Moody enter twice on Aug. 29th and
once on Sept. 7th, Sept. 9th and Oct. 12th.

If convicted, he could be sentenced to 5 to 10 years in federal prison for
possession and 5 to 20 years for receiving or distributing child porn.
