SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — A special prosecutor says he won’t
file criminal charges against a South Bend Common Council member for
posting obscene material on his Facebook page.
Kosciusko County
Prosecutor Daniel Hampton said in a report released Monday that Henry
Davis Jr. didn’t understand he was breaking the law, so he "lacked the
requisite criminal intent" to be charged.
Some city residents
complained in January when Davis posted an explicit photo of a naked man
and a dog with a link to a blog that said Congress had legalized sex
between humans and animals for members of the military.
Hampton
noted that Davis expressed his disgust with the content of the photo and
that some people who complained of Davis’ actions also linked to the
obscene material.
