Kyle Charles Scott, 21, Cypress, faces one felony count each of possession of child pornography, distributing obscene matter to adult, possession of marijuana for sale, two felony counts of possession of a controlled substance, and one misdemeanor count each of peeking and disorderly conduct. If convicted, Scott faces a maximum sentence of seven years and eight months in state prison and mandatory lifetime sex offender registration. Scott is being held on $100,000 bail and is expected to be arraigned this afternoon, Sept. 18, 2012, in Department W-2, West Justice Center, Westminster. The time is to be determined.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. on Sept. 15, 2012, Scott is accused of walking on the roof of 19-year-old Jane Doe’s home.
