Former TV3 Reporter Ryan O'Connor was denied bond Tuesday morning in court and is being held on child pornography charges.

O'Connor appeared in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in Winchester.

He was arrested Monday and charged with four counts of child pornography, one count of taking indecent liberties with a child and one count of using a computer for child pornography.

In court, he requested a gag order due to the nature of his former employment. The judge denied that request during the bond hearing.

A search warrant obtained from the court states O'Connor e-mailed sexually explicit photos to a 14-year-old girl in Illinois. The two had been reportedly chatting online.

O'Connor has been appointed an attorney. He is scheduled to appear in court for a hearing September 30.
