FOLLANSBEE, W.Va. — The former manager of the Pittsburgh Pride girls fastpitch softball team based in Zelienople is facing four counts of child pornography stemming from images found on a flash drive that was found at a ballfield in West Virginia.

James Sepik, 46, of Mingo Junction, Ohio, had resigned from the Pittsburgh Pride two months ago.

Pittsburgh Pride officials could not immediately be reached for comment.

According to West Virginia State Police, a parent found a flash drive at a Follansbee, W.Va., ballfield in late June. The drive was found to have about 1,000 images of child pornography, none of which was determined to be of local girls.

The parent opened it to determine who owned it, saw the images and turned it over to the sheriff’s department, who tied the images back to Septik.

Officials executed a search warrant at Sepik’s home on July 3. He was later arrested. Upon being interviewed by police, Sepik acknowledged the content of the flash drive was his, according to state police.

Sepik is in Northern Regional Jail in Moundsville after failing to post $500,000 bail, pending his preliminary hearing.
