Blair County man arrested after teens found child porn photos, police say | WTAJ

BLAIR COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — A teenager allegedly found a flash drive filled with child pornography, Roaring Spring police said, leading to the arrest of a 70-year-old man.

Donald Albert Grant, 70, faces 180 counts — including 90 counts of child pornography — after two teenagers turned over a USB drive they found plugged into a computer on June 23, according to the charges.

The criminal complaint filed shows that police were called June 25 about a hard drive a woman claimed her teenage son had from Grant with several files and photos of child pornography that allegedly made the teens gag when they viewed them.

The complaint states that Grant never let them use the computer without his permission. The next morning, however, the teens turned on the computer while Grant was sleeping. That's when they allegedly found folders filled with child pornography, including photos labeled “Uncle Donny.”

Grant allegedly sent text messages to the teen, appearing upset that his computer was turned on and wanting to know where his USB drive was, the complaint says.

Police said a search of the USB drive uncovered more than 90 pornographic photos of underage children, including several photos of a young girl from the 1970s whose face had been photoshopped onto “clearly underage” nude bodies, according to the complaint. It also noted that there were files of young children being forced to perform sexual acts with animals.

Grant now faces 180 charges and has been booked into the Blair County Jail, unable to post his $400,000 bail.
