Pennsylvania lawmaker facing child porn possession charges
Source: 69 News & Associated Press
A Pennsylvania state lawmaker is facing child pornography possession charges after authorities say a social media website told them the user had uploaded an image using their service.
The state attorney general's office said Sen. Mike Folmer was arrested and charged Tuesday night. Investigators allegedly found images of child pornography on Folmer's cell phone when they executed a search warrant at his house in Lebanon County.
The investigation began as a result of a CyberTip reporting that an electronic service provider, Tumblr, discovered that a user had uploaded an image of child pornography using their application.
A message left at Folmer's listed home telephone number wasn't immediately returned and it wasn't immediately clear if he has a lawyer.

(4,214 posts)He was a huge fighter for medical marijuana in PA. It will be interesting to watch this case. Big time conservative in a deeply conservative area. Type who thinks the Democratic Party is the Democrat Party. Not sorry to see him go. His creepy-assed local fellow-Republicans will be running away from him tomorrow, running as if their hair is on fire.

Plus ... not too smart! Downloading porn on his phone?!? Saving it on Tumblr?!?

Oh well then, perfectly understandable since he was dealing with personal problems - don't we all download the child porn in that situation?
