Man Tried to Swallow Flash Drive Full of Child Porn

Harold J. Moser, 46, of Bushkill Township is accused of possessing child pornography and tampering with evidence for trying to swallow a flash drive.

A Bushkill Township man was charged Aug. 23 with possessing child pornography and tampering with the evidence when he tried to swallow a flash drive containing the images, The Express Times reports.

Harold J. Moser, 46, of the 400 block of Blue Ridge Drive, had allegedly coerced a 9-year-old girl in March to undress and pose for pictures. The article also states Moser forced the child to fondle him. When police went to verify the accusations, they caught Moser trying to eat the flash drive.

State police later found nine images of child porn on the drive, according to the report. Moser is in Northampton County Prison under $100,000 bail.
