Child porn arrest in Pennsylvania

While innocent people may have suffered from bogus charges of satanic ritual abuse during a wave of hysteria in the 80s and early 90s, children are at risk for abuse. But the culprit is child pornography, and not devil worship.

Take a look at what this man is charged with after a raid on his home.

A Sugarcreek Borough man was arrested early Sunday on child pornography, drug and firearms charges after a search of his home.

The 1 a.m. search of the home of Robert Gardinier Jr., 37, of 819 Route 427, yielded child pornography, drug paraphernalia, narcotics, a handgun and a long gun, said Sugarcreek Borough police.

Gardinier was charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, two counts of sexual abuse of children, sexual assault, two counts of corruption of minors, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, endangering the welfare of children, and persons not to possess firearms, police said.
