Former Deputy Convicted on 124 Counts

A former Fayette County deputy, Justin Bennett, has been convicted on 124 counts of child sexual abuse material — 112 second-degree felonies and 12 fourth-degree — after a months-long investigation that began in February 2025. The case erupted when the ICAC Task Force identified suspicious activity at his residence, prompting Madison County detectives to seize devices and secure an arrest warrant. Bennett resigned before formal charges were filed. Now, with his bond revoked and sentencing set for July 23, he faces up to 250 years in prison — a stark reminder of the justice system’s zero-tolerance stance against online exploitation.
