Kid porn found on theft suspect's computer

PUYALLUP, Wash., Jan. 8 (UPI) -- An identity theft investigation turned into a child pornography case when investigators in Washington state examined a suspect's computer.

Andrew Kowalczyk was arrested on identity theft and forgery charges Dec. 27. Police seized his computer and a video camera.

Lorri Ericson, a spokesman for the Puyallup Police Department, said a forensic expert examining the computer and camera allegedly found so many images of children that they were still being examined. She said some of the photos were outwardly innocent, while others were hard-core pornography.

She said two girls whose photos were on the computer had been located. She said that in the pornographic pictures faces were concealed.
