Cauley was indicted in July 2007 for two counts of production of child pornography, one count of possession of child pornography and one count of receipt of child pornography. These indictments were the result of a joint investigation by the FBI, the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office and the Athens Police Department.

Members of the public are reminded that an indictment contains only charges. A defendant is presumed innocent of the charges and it will be the government’s burden to prove a defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial.
