SCITUATE A long-time guard at the Adult Correctional Institutions was charged Tuesday with sending porn to someone he thought was a 14-year-old boy.
The minor was not real but a collaboration by investigators from the Rhode Island State Police computer crimes unit and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The police watched communication grow between the suspect and the decoy until it was sexually explicit. Then the suspect sent indecent material, a news release said.
Thomas P. Nolan, 56, of 2198 Elmwood Ave., Warwick, who has worked at the ACI as a correctional officer since February of 1990, was arrested Tuesday in Cranston. He was charged with two counts of electronically disseminating indecent material to a minor.
