(Lagrange, GA) — On May 7, 2020, the Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction and 1,000-year sentence of Peter Mallory.
On December 18, 2012, after a trial that lasted more than three weeks, a Troup County jury found Mallory guilty of sixty counts of sexual exploitation of children, three counts of invasion of privacy, and one count of tampering with evidence.
The charges were the result of a LaGrange Police Department investigation, which detectives initiated in February of 2011 after receiving an alert of more than 600 suspected child pornography files linked to a computer in LaGrange.
The investigation led to the local television station that Mallory operated, where investigators seized several hard drives containing more than 26,000 files of child pornography.
The evidence demonstrated that Mallory knowingly and intentionally sought out, gathered, downloaded, and saved these images and videos of children being raped, tortured, and sexually exploited.
