A state appeals court panel Friday upheld the conviction of a former Glendora resident who used a library computer to view semi-nude or sexually suggestive photos of girls.
In a 17-page ruling, the appellate court panel noted that a representative sample of the images seized from the library computer in February 2014 contained “multiple photographs of the same or different girls, all of whom are clothed or partially clothed prepubescent minor girls in highly suggestive poses.”
“Although not all of the 26 photographs particularly focus on genitals, the pubic area, or the rectal area, most of the girls are only partially clothed and many, including the girls hugging and kissing each other, are wearing age-inappropriate underwear that is plainly suggestive.”
The appeal did not challenge Eggleston’s conviction on a count of attempted possession of child pornography involving a residential computer he used to search for images of preteen models in January 2014.
Eggleston admitted allegations that he had previously been convicted of indecent exposure and possession or control of matter depicting a minor engaging in or simulating sexual conduct.
Eggleston was sentenced in January 2015 to 13 years, four months in state prison, and was ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
