Rankin Man Arrested on Child Porn Charges

Attorney General Jim Hood issued the following statement.


A Rankin County man was denied bond Thursday morning after investigators with Attorney General Jim Hood’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force arrested him for allegedly downloading child pornography.

Timothy Sistrunk, 57, was arrested Wednesday and charged with 10 counts of child exploitation for possession of child pornography. He is being held in the Rankin County jail without bond.

If convicted, Sistrunk faces up to 400 years in prison and $5,000,000 in fines. A charge is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

This case was investigated by the AG’s ICAC Task Force with assistance from the Florence Police Department, University of Mississippi Medial Center Police Department, and ICAC affiliate Rankin County Sheriff’s Office. It will be prosecuted by Special Assistant Attorney General Brandon Ogburn.

Chop his head off, both of them.

However, meanwhile: In Jackson, people charged with murder are released either on low bond or their own recognizance. What's wrong with this picture.

I’ve known Tim Sistrunk for over 20 years and this does not fit the character of the man I know. Jim Hood is trying to railroad this man for quick election year publicity. God will judge you one day for all of your wicked deeds Mr. Hood.

Not as big as Hood's stellar actions against Scruggs, Epps, Adams, et al but we'll take it.

What is that the 3 or 4th Niknar redneck to go down (ha) for kiddie porn in the past 90 days?

Two questions. Why and in what way were UMMC police involved? What is that brace/device on his head in this WLBT photograph ?

Looks like a medical orthopedic device to stabilize his Jaw. Musta had a broken jaw.

If they are right, then 400 years in prison and $5,000,000 in fines isn't enough. If they are wrong, then they've just ruined his life by making the arrest, with the publicity and ensuing guilt by association.

Does anyone else remember this outrageous situation?

It's amazing how people will jump into every high profile situation that becomes trendy with no regard to the damage they do to innocent people and with no real concern for any consequences.

Don’t know him, don’t know if he’s innocent or guilty ,don’t know how many times he downloaded child porn. In this day and time any of us could download child porn if it was labeled as something else. Also I’m sure some of the adult porn from foreign sites might contain participants who are underage but look older. I’m certainly not condoning anyone participating in child porn activities but let’s Wait and see the evidence before we lynch (oops not politically correct wording) him.

@3:33 PM, "downloading" is not the same as "viewing."

Ten counts of participating in the distribution of child pornography through an Internet Service Provider is a whole lot different than basing a case on highly-suggestive interviews with pre-school children (@1:41), accidentally clicked on it/she looked legal (@3:33), or bearing false witness against a man's character for political gain (@8:43). The fact that Jim Hood is running for governor as a Democrat (gasp!) doesn't change that.

These charges depend on documentary evidence; the prosecution either has it or they don't. I suspect they do. I also suspect this creep earned that broken jaw. While I'm at it, I think the whole "God will punish you for persecuting this fine person" thing is a huge load of pious crap. I think it's more likely that God's will is done by calling somebody out for who and what they are. Yes, I am biased.

Except that downloading is the same thing as viewing. Even if you stream a movie on Netflix it is still downloading hence it counts against a data cap if you will.

I think that you are referring to archiving. Either way in this case both are frowned upon any way you slice it. He needs to be put down.

So, 7:54, to be clear...If you spot a post somewhere that starts with, "Man you ain't gonna believe this" and you click on it and it contains photos of ten children (that fall within the definition) are you likely guilty of ten counts of downloading? What if that's all this guy did? And we have no clue what he did.

If the guy is guilty, burn him. If not, burn the guys who set him up.

Preliminary hearing this morning so y’all that want to defend this scumbag will see this was a pattern of sick behavior and not oops, I clicked on a misleading link

It's amusing to look back - a year and a half later, after the new Republican AG continued to prosecute and obtain a guilty plea and long sentences, how hollow the "Hood charged them only for political ends" comments sound. Doubtless, some of those same voices would now proclaim that Hood lost because he was against law and order.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
