HUNTINGDON VALLEY, PA — A Huntingdon Valley man was arrested after police said they found a massive cache of child pornography on his computer and phone.
Peter Kotska, 25, of Sorrel Road, faces more than 130 felony counts of child porn possession following the recent investigation, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday morning.
Kotska first came to the attention of authorities back in March, when the social media app Snapchat sent a cybertip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

A search warrant was served at Kostka's residence back on Sept. 2. A total of 128 images and photographs of child pornography, some portraying children as young as 3 being sexually abused, were found on his laptop and phone, according to police.
