A Grand Junction man is free on $60,000 bond after his arrest on allegations he kept child pornography on a home computer.

Bruce K. Inman, 44, posted bond on Sunday, one day after his arrest on a Mesa County Sheriff’s arrest warrant alleging a single count of felony sexual exploitation of a child.

Inman’s arrest happened a full eight months after his wife allegedly told a sheriff’s deputy she saw underage pornographic materials on her husband’s computer, according to an arrest affidavit.

She made the report Aug. 28, 2007.

The woman said when she confronted him, Inman claimed the images were of their children.

Weeks earlier, Inman had allegedly denied knowing about the photos, the affidavit said.

A search of four computers and various media from Inman’s home allegedly turned up 11 photos — an investigator believed they showed underage girls, naked and posed in sexually provocative positions, the affidavit said.

The affidavit noted all of the photos had been placed into a computer’s “trash file” on Aug. 28 — the same day Inman’s wife reported the photos to law enforcement.
