I feel obligated to post this, since I originally posted the
news item about his arrest yesterday.

Via GCN.com.

Two weeks after a Defense Information Systems Agency official was arrested on a charge of child pornography, the U.S. 
Attorney’s office handling the case dropped the charge. But a spokeswoman in the U.S. Attorney’s Office said the 
investigation is continuing.

“This is an ongoing investigation, so we don’t have any comments,” the spokeswoman said.

Charles Lynch, director of DISA’s IP version 6 transition program, was arrested March 8 and indicted in the U.S. 
District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia the next day on one count of possessing child pornography.

According to a statement by the DOD Inspector General’s Office, court documents alleged that Lynch had been operating a 
peer-to-peer file-sharing program on a computer in his office at DISA. Agents confiscated several computers and more 
than 1,000 CDs from Lynch’s office.

Lynch, 44, is on leave without pay from DISA.
