Richard John Anderson, 38, of Falls Township’s Levittown section, came before District Judge Terry Hughes for a preliminary arraignment on charges of disseminating photo/film of child sex acts and child pornography. He was released on $100,000 unsecured bail and ordered not have contact with kids other than his own, not to use the internet, and he must stay with a family member.
County authorities received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children recently alleging a Snapchat user saved, shared, or uploaded suspected child porn. The clip was 44 seconds long, according to court papers.
