The former mayor of Ashland, who unexpectedly resigned last week, is being investigated by federal officials who allege he bought child pornography.

Reeves

        U.S. postal inspectors entered Paul Reeves' home on May 29 and found him viewing a child pornography videotape, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Lexington.

        Mr. Reeves resigned abruptly and without explanation Friday. Some city commissioners said during the weekend that they had learned Mr. Reeves was under investigation.

        A five-page affidavit, filed last week in federal court in Lexington by FBI agent David R. Goodson, said a search of Mr. Reeves' home turned up “four or five” envelopes stuffed with cash.

        As of Tuesday, no charges had been filed against Mr. Reeves, and federal officials declined to comment on the investigation.

        Mr. Reeves ordered the pornvideotapes from an undercover company run by postal inspectors, Mr. Goodson's affidavit said.

        Mr. Reeves could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
