Bedford County, PA (WJAC) — State police in Bedford County say a Hopewell man is facing charges after he allegedly admitted to repeatedly viewing child pornography.
According to the affidavit, troopers say 24-year-old Donald Steele reportedly came to the barracks, last October, to report that he has viewed the pornographic images and that "he needs help."
Authorities say Steele told investigators that he views the images and videos, on various websites, and admitted to downloading some of them on an old iPod.
Police say a forensic search of Steele's devices, including the iPod, confirmed his claims.
Troopers say Steele noted that he views the images approximately 1 to 3 times per day.
According to online court records, Steele was arraigned Tuesday on a dozen counts of child pornography and was released on unsecured bail.
