Although a Georgia man plans to plead guilty to bringing child pornography into Tennessee, authorities still are investigating the circumstances surrounding his activities, which involved running a child pornography Web site and, at one point, offering a young boy for sexual purposes to undercover agents.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mel Schwing only would say that there is “an ongoing investigation” with regard to defendant Gary E. Salles, who faces years in prison after his expected guilty plea Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Chattanooga.
Mr. Salles was scheduled to plead guilty Wednesday, but defense attorney Mary Ellen Coleman asked the judge for more time because Mr. Salles “has questions about sentencing.”
Caught in January at a Winchester, Tenn., motel trying to give drugs and a DVD containing pornographic images and videos of children to undercover police, Mr. Salles offered to bring a young boy to the motel in Winchester, there was no boy present when authorities arrested him. Mr. Salles could face up to 40 years in prison. He is charged with one count of transporting child pornography across the state line and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Mr. Salles, 57, a Web site called bois4men.com that apparently ran from his residence in Smyrna, Ga.
According to the criminal complaint against Mr. Salles, which details how investigators caught him, the defendant admitted that he started selling meth and became involved in child porn after he lost his job at IBM in 2007.
According to the complaint states Mr. Salles said he has since made a profit of about $15,000 selling meth. He also said he had been operating an Internet site “geared toward pedophiles and has received 50-60 child pornographic images via e-mail and sent at least 250 child pornographic images to six different individuals via e-mail,”.
