FORT CARSON, Colo.—Two Fort Carson soldiers have been arrested on child pornography charges after an investigation begun by civilian police.
Authorities said Thursday that 22-year-old Spc. Micah Seth Rochet of Beaumont, Texas, and 21-year-old Pfc. Michael Thomas Morris of Americus, Ga., were arrested on suspicion of sexual exploitation of children.
Police in Colorado Springs, where the post is located, say pornography was being distributed from privately owned computers on Fort Carson.
They say there’s no evidence that computers owned by the military or federal government were used, or that any local children were victims.
Police say the case has now been turned over to the Army.
An Army spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to an e-mail request for comment from the suspects.
