MIAMISBURG — Miamisburg officials today, May 18, announced that the forensic examination of the laptop computer previously assigned to former city manager William H. Nelson found nothing inappropriate or out of the ordinary.
The Miami Valley Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory completed the examination following the March arrest of Nelson on the charge of importuning.
Just prior to his arrest, Nelson on March 16 resigned as city manager.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s office on Oct. 3 of last year nabbed Nelson in an Internet sting in which Nelson thought he was meeting up with a 14-year old girl who was willing to give him oral sex.
Nelson pleaded guilty in April to one felony count of importuning.
Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Charles Schneider on May 13 sentenced Nelson to three years probation, plus court costs. He also is required to register as a sex offender annually for the next 15 years.
Based on the forensic results, Miamisburg officials determined that no additional examination of the computer network servers is necessary and that the laptop will be returned to the city manager’s office for reassignment.
The city continues its national search for a new city manager and is accepting applications until June 17, with plans to have someone in place sometime this fall.
Assistant City Manager Dody Bruck is serving as acting city manager.
