Mental Evaluation Ordered in Pornography Case

A Pierce County jury determined Thursday that Loren Rawlings was not guilty by reason of insanity after facing charges of possessing child pornography.

Rawlings had previously pleaded no contest to two counts and claimed a mental disease or defect. Police discovered nearly 500 illegal images during a search of his home. He will now undergo a psychiatric evaluation, with a future hearing set to decide on possible commitment and its duration.
