Paul Calhoun is the former mayor of Lake View, Alabama. He was appointed in 2016 by Republican Governor Robert Bentley after the mayor and 2 city council members resigned, leaving the town without a quorum to do business.
He was then elected in his own right but resigned in 2020 after being found guilty of voting on an issue in which he had a financial interest.
He was arrested in July 2024 when police found electronic devices containing Child Sexual Abuse Materiel. Additional charges were added, including ten counts of producing child sex abuse material, taking sexually exploitive photos of a 15-year-old girl.
