Investigators with the state police Northeast Computer Crime Task Force and Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office arrested Lawrence Shultz, 55, of Chestnut Street, on charges he downloaded child pornography on a computer.
Investigators served a search warrant at Shultz’s residence on Tuesday finding a desktop computer in the living room. A review of the hard drive allegedly showed nine pictures and one three-minute video of children engaged in lewd sex acts, according to the criminal complaint.

Shultz admitted to investigators that he downloaded a file sharing program for the purpose of downloading music and adult and child pornography, the complaint says.
Shultz told investigators he used certain words to search for child pornography because he “was curious and liked looking at them,” according to the complaint.
Shultz was arraigned by District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke on 14 counts of child pornography, three counts of dissemination of photos and/or film of children engaged in sex acts and a single count of criminal use of communication facility. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $250,000 bail.
