A former bus driver for Iraq war contractor KBR who was fired in 2006 for possessing child pornography was rehired less than a year later and again has been caught with a large collection of child porn, according to prosecutors.
Ira L. Waltrip of Lampasas, Tex., who had been working for KBR at Camp Liberty in Baghdad, was charged this week in U.S. District Court in Alexandria with possessing child pornography. According to a court affidavit, KBR fired Waltrip in January 2006 after he was discovered with a collection of child pornography. At the time, authorities elected not to prosecute Waltrip because they said they lacked sufficient evidence that the pornography in question actually depicted minors.
KBR rehired Waltrip in December 2006 as a bus driver. Again, Waltrip was caught with an extensive library of child pornography. It is not entirely clear how Waltrip came to be rehired by KBR.
