Clovis man arrested on child porn charges

A 56-year-old Clovis man has been booked on charges of possessing and distributing child pornography, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office reports.

Jeff Jordan was arrested Thursday after a search warrant was served at his Clovis home by federal agents, Clovis police and sheriff’s deputies. Computers and other media storage devices were taken from his home. He was arrested at his workplace, which the sheriff’s office did not identify.

Jordan is director of safety & broadcast compliance for ABC-owned television stations. Although he works with the eight TV stations owned by ABC, he works out of the KFSN (Channel 30.1) offices in downtown Fresno.

He currently doesn’t have anything to do with KFSN programming but was the head of the engineering department at the local ABC station before taking on his current job. He was involved with the launch of the Live Well Network that is seen on Channel 30.2.

A spokesman for Live Well did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

The investigation is part of a continuing effort by the Central California ICAC Task Force. Central California ICAC is partially funded through a federal grant, and the task force is comprised of 58 law-enforcement agencies spread across Kern, Tulare, Kings, Fresno, Madera, Merced, Mariposa, Inyo and San Luis Obispo counties.
