Glendora Man Gets Prison Time For Child Porn

A man arrested in February of 2014 and accused of viewing pictures of seminude young girls on a Glendora Public Library computer was sentenced Wednesday to 13 years and four months in state prison.

Kirk Eggleston, a 49-year-old resident of Glendora was convicted by a jury in October of 2014 on two felony counts of possessing child porn after a prior conviction and attempted child pornography after a prior conviction, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Eggleston also admitted to being previously convicted of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 in 2003, child molestation in 2004 and indecent exposure in 2006, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said in a written statement.

Glendora Police officers arrested Eggleston on February 9, 2014, after he was caught by employees at the Glendora Public Library viewing pictures of young girls in bathing suits on a library computer.

Employees notified police, who arrived and also caught Eggleston viewing the images, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said.

Police officers testified that during an investigation, they discovered search terms on the computer’s Internet web browser used to find child porn. Police also located images consistent with those search terms, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said.

A search of Eggleston’s home computer also turned up child porn search terms, but no images were found.

Eggleston was also ordered to register as a sex offender for life.
