A Westmoreland County Judge has set bail for a man charged with possession and distribution of child pornography.  The Trib reports that 38-year-old Anthony Cortazzo IV was charged with 21 felony counts in the case.  The investigation started after police received a report from a woman who claimed she had a prior relationship with him, and she had text messages where he admitted that he possessed child porn, and sent her copies of pictures and videos.  In an investigation on May 8th, police uncovered more images at his home.  Bail was set at $250,000.
