NORFOLK, Va. - Child pornography images discovered on a work computer led to an arrest in Norfolk.

Police were called to the Pinewood Gardens Apartments on September 13 to arrest 38-year-old Timothy Baxter, who was charged with 11 counts of possession of child pornography.

On August 29, an employee with SL Nusbaum Realty Company stated she was on a work computer when she saw images of child pornography in a personal email belonging to a fellow employee, according to court records.

Court records show she shared the work computer with the suspect.

The employee told authorities she observed several emails containing the images.

According to records, the computer was turned off and forensically examined by the Norfolk Police Department. Upon completion of the examination, Baxter was arrested.

He was released on a $10,000 bond, and his next court date is scheduled for November 27.

An official with SL Nusbaum Realty Company said they had no comment about the case and said Baxter is not currently an employee.  They refused to elaborate on his employment history with the company.

News 3 met with the Baxter's attorney, John Levin. He said his client takes the charges very seriously.

"At this stage of the game, the presumption of innocence follows the proceedings and will continue to do so up until someone other than himself makes that decision," said Levin.
