WKYC Exclusive: O'Malley resigns; pleads guilty to federal obscenity charge in court
Cuyahoga County Recorder Pat O'Malley has resigned, effective immediately.
He will turn his resignation letter in to Cuyahoga County Commissioners today and be in federal court in Akron at 3 p.m.
That's where he will plead guilty to one count of obscenity. O'Malley emphatically said that the obscenity charge has absolutely nothing to do with any "kiddie porn" allegations.
The charges were filed in U.S. District Court by U.S. Attorney William J. Edwards.
They state that, on or about Feb. 18, 1998 through Nov. 10, 2004, O'Malley used an "interactive computer service for the carriage in interstate and foreign commerce of numerous obscene, lewd, lascivious and filthy pictures, writings and other matters of indecent character, all in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1462(a)."
O'Malley faces up to five years in prison on the felony charge but told Meyer that he hopes he won't have to serve any jail time but that decision is up to Judge David D. Dowd Jr.
