BRISTOL, Tenn. (WJHL) – A former educational assistant and assistant coach in the Bristol Tennessee City Schools (BTCS) system has been accused of using an electronic device to exploit a minor.

Jason Milhorn was indicted in Sullivan County on Feb. 28 on the charge of exploitation of a minor by electronic means.

According to the indictment, Milhorn’s offense occurred “on or about January 2023 through on or about May 2023.”

Milhorn allegedly used electronic means to show a teenager offensive or sexual activity.

A BTCS spokesperson confirmed Milhorn was a former educational assistant and assistant middle school football coach. The spokesperson told News Channel 11 on Monday that he is no longer employed with the school district.

According to the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office, Milhorn was booked into the Sullivan County Jail on March 9 and released that same day after posting a $10,000 bond.

He is set to appear in Sullivan County court on May 10.

Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn
A feature Google demoed at its I/O confab yesterday, using its generative AI technology to scan voice calls in real time for conversational patterns associated with financial scams, has sent a collective shiver down the spines of privacy and security experts who are warning the feature represents the thin end of the wedge. Google's demo of the call scam-detection feature, which the tech giant said would be built into a future version of its Android OS — estimated to run on some three-quarters of the world's smartphones — is powered by Gemini Nano, the smallest of its current generation of AI models meant to run entirely on-device. This is essentially client-side scanning: A nascent technology that's generated huge controversy in recent years in relation to efforts to detect child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or even grooming activity on messaging platforms.
