Former Bryan reserve officer charged with indecency with a child, 58 counts of child pornography

[TexasTowelie]

A former Bryan reserve police officer was indicted Thursday on 58 counts of child pornography and one count of indecency with a child.

Dennis Fraley, 62, was among 34 people indicted by a Brazos County grand jury during its bi-monthly meeting to determine whether there is enough evidence to move forward with prosecution. Texas Rangers and Brazos County sheriff’s deputies took him into custody Thursday evening.

Fraley was out on $45,000 bail at the time. He had been arrested in September on three counts of possession of child pornography, which is a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, after a friend noticed inappropriate photographs on Fraley’s phone while helping him install an application, according to the probable cause affidavit for the arrest.

Fraley resigned from the Bryan Police Department following his September arrest, during which he told investigators he had “arrested people like him” and that he “had been sick for a couple of years,” according to the court document.
