FAIRMONT, W.Va. -- A Marion County sheriff's deputy has been charged with sending photos of himself posing naked to a 17-year-old girl's cell phone.

A criminal complaint filed in Marion County Magistrate Court charged Cpl. Joseph B. McKinney with felony distribution and display of obscene matter to a minor. McKinney, a Worthington resident, posted $5,000 bond Thursday after State Police arrested him.

Marion County Sheriff Joe Carpenter says the 43-year-old McKinney has been placed on administrative leave.

It wasn't immediately known whether McKinney had an attorney. A call to Magistrate Court went unanswered Friday.
