Whitemarsh Township Man Gets Prison Time For Possessing Child Pornography

WHITEMARSH, PA — A local man will be spending some time in the county prison after pleading guilty to possessing child pornography.

The images showed girls between the ages of infancy and 8 years old involved in various sex acts of poses, according to the Mercury article.
