Wake County man charged with child porn on computer
Ronald Baker, 60, has twice been to prison for molesting children.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- A Holly Springs man, 60-year-old Ronald Baker, faced a judge for the first time Friday, charged with having child pornography on his computer.

But it wasn't the first time that Baker has faced a judge.

The 60-year-old has twice been to prison for molesting children, the first time more than 30 years ago. He was most recently released from prison in 2003.

Baker currently lives in a trailer outside the Wake County town of Holly Springs.

His home is within sight of a "children playing" sign.

If convicted of these most recent charges, Baker (who is being held on a three quarters of a million dollar bond) could go back to prison for as much as 49 years.
