Bond has been set at $250,000 for a Walker County youth mentor arrested for child molestation and child pornography.
John Crawford Stanfield, 68, remained Friday in the Walker County jail in LaFayette. Bond was set Wednesday in Walker County Superior Court.


A federal task force arrested Stanfield on March 11 at his house on Reeds Road in LaFayette.

Stanfield, known for being a youth mentor who worked with children, also served on a court panel that oversees placement of foster children.
He was sending pictures via the Internet, of child pornography, and we got a tip and then a joint investigation
when investigators searched Stanfield’s house nearly 5,000 pornographic images were found on his computer’s hard drive. A vast majority of the pornography found was of children, Lee said.
Lee said the pornographic images led investigators to two juveniles who reported being molested by Stanfield.
