Cal Fire employee arrested at Patterson station in child porn case
A Cal Fire firefighter was arrested Thursday while on duty at a fire station in Patterson following a cybertip that led investigators to suspect he was in possession of child pornography, authorities said. Joseph Trevor Forney, 41, is facing multiple felony charges after an investigation by the Manteca Police Department's Hi-Tech Crimes and Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) unit uncovered sexually explicit material involving minors — including children under 10 years old. Detective Matthew Phillips of the Manteca Police Department received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children on May 8, according to a news release. Using online forensic tools, Phillips identified Forney as a suspect and obtained both a search warrant and an arrest warrant. Police said Forney had uploaded, possessed and distributed child sexual abuse material. He was taken into custody June 5 while working at the Cal Fire Del Puerto station in Patterson, where he was assigned as a full-time employee. According to authorities, Forney has worked for Cal Fire since 2023 and has been stationed in the Patterson, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz areas. He also has a prior criminal history in Idaho and completed parole in 2024. Police emphasized that his past convictions were not related to child sexual exploitation. Forney was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail and faces the following charges: Possession/distribution of obscene material depicting a minor Possession of obscene matter involving a sex act with a minor under 12 Sexual depiction of a minor engaged in sexual conduct Annoying or molesting a victim under 18. 'Cal Fire demands its employees uphold standards of professional conduct both on and off duty. We are aware of this criminal case and are monitoring it closely. Cal Fire will determine next steps as these investigations progresses,' the agency said in a statement. 'The department urges anyone with information related to this case — or who may know of children who have disclosed being victimized by Joseph Forney — to contact Phillips at mphillips@ or 209-456-8101,' police said. The case reference number is 25-02083.

Josh Duggar denied legal counsel for post-conviction challenge
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Former reality TV star Josh Duggar's request for a court-appointed attorney to help him challenge his 2021 child sexual abuse material (CSAM) conviction has been denied, according to court documents. Duggar, 37, filed a motion without an attorney in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas on May 27. 'The defendant requests counsel for the limited purpose of reviewing the record, evaluating possible constitutional claims, and, if meritorious grounds exist, preparing and filing a motion,' Duggar wrote in the seven-page filing. In an order filed Thursday, June 5, U.S. Magistrate Judge Christy Comstock said Duggar's motion to appoint counsel lacked sufficient detail and failed to justify the request under federal law. 2nd Milk president allowed to travel for fishing trips, court docs say Under 18 U.S.C. § 3006A, courts have discretion to appoint counsel in certain post-conviction cases, but only if the petition presents a nonfrivolous claim and other factors, such as legal or factual complexity, warrant assistance. The judge found that those standards were not met in Duggar's case. Duggar had previously stated he cannot afford a lawyer on his own due to his incarceration. Former 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar was convicted of child pornography possession in December 2021 and sentenced in May 2022. He received over 12 years in prison, 20 years of supervised release, and a $10,000 fine. His appeals were later rejected by both a federal court in 2023 and the U.S. Supreme Court in 2024.
