Three accused of sharing child pornography

Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s office announced on Monday the arrest of a Wissinoming man and two others for allegedly sharing child pornography on the internet and downloading it.

The state prosecutor said in a news release that agents from the office’s Child Predator Section were investigating the online sexual abuse of children when they identified a computer connected to a peer-to-peer network that was sharing a media file that appeared to contain child pornography. The investigators linked the computer’s IP address to Towarnicki.

Philadelphia police assisted in the arrest. ••
