Man faces 10 counts of possession of child porn

A 49-year-old man was arrested Thursday on 10 counts of possession of child pornography, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. Mark Branson, who works as a 10News WTSP producer, was arrested at about 6 a.m. at his condo at 8950 Park Blvd. N, according to the Sheriff's Office. Investigators said that in May he uploaded graphic images of children between the ages of 2 and 10 to Skype. "These charges are deeply troubling and the employee has been suspended," the news station said in a statement. Branson was being held Friday at the Pinellas County jail in lieu of $1 million bail.
