2008
August: Just after Rod Buchanan's stepson turned 17, stepson sees
on Jarred's computer (see video, 5:46 mark). This was at GLD II's house on Gano.
Source Buchanan said his own stepson was playing on Harrell's computer last year and found some pornographic pictures. He told the adults in the family, but it was "kinda brushed under the rug," and no one reported it, Buchanan said. Source
August 1-November 1: Estimated Date. LE believes that on or between these dates, Jarred Harrell is guilty of committing the offense Lewd & Lascivious Molestation of a Child Under 12 and Producing/Performing Sexual Performance of a Child (12 counts).
