SEMINOLE, Fla. — NewsChannel 11 is learning more about the Seminole paramedic accused of keeping hundreds of pornographic pictures involving children on his computer.

A federal grand jury indicted John Eric Gilliam Thursday in Midland. State authorities took him into custody shortly after.

We’ve learned Gilliam was in Lubbock just three months ago. He was being treated for a bee sting that left him in a coma.

Gilliam, 39, stands indicted on charges of possession and transportation of child pornography. Investigators say his collection of images numbered in the hundreds.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children alerted investigators to pornographic emails coming from Gilliam’s America Online account. That’s when the Texas Attorney General’s Cyber Crimes Unit stepped in.
