A former freelance

humor columnist for The Citizen newspaper was arrested Tuesday morning

on new criminal charges stemming from his February arrest for violating

the computer pornography and child exploitation prevention act.

Billy Murphy,

45, who was arrested at his home in Newnan, was charged Tuesday with an

additional felony count of violating the computer pornography and child

exploitation prevention act and a separate count of electronically furnishing

obscene material to a minor.

According to

warrants for his arrest, police found two explicit photos on his computer,

one of which depicted a nude minor.

The latest

charges arose after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation pulled data off

Murphy's computer, which was seized in February by Peachtree City police,

where he lived at the time. Detectives had obtained a search warrant so

the computer could be examined, police said.

The information

from the computer revealed there was a second victim involved who lived

in Gwinnett County, said Police Chief James Murray. The victim from the

original charge in February lived in Peachtree City at the time, according

to police.

Murphy's bond

was set at $10,600 Tuesday afternoon by Fayette County Magistrate Joe

Tinsley.

Tinsley also

ordered Murphy to refrain from contacting the victims or their families

as a condition of the bond.

In February,

Murphy was first arrested on a warrant that claimed he used America Online

to "seduce, lure and entice" a 13-year-old victim. Police said

Murphy had been involved in an ongoing extended relationship with the

middle school student.

Detectives

are continuing to look at evidence in the case and it's possible other

victims could step forward, Murray said.

Murphy, until

his arrest earlier this year, wrote a weekly freelance humor column that

appeared on The Citizen's editorial page each Wednesday. Currently he

is self-employed, selling music accessories for guitars and drums.
