SLIPPERY ROCK — A Slippery Rock University student faces charges of online sharing, downloading, and distribution of child pornography.

Josiah David Krammes, 22, was arrested Thursday by the state attorney general’s Child Predator Section following an investigation of his file sharing habits.

Investigators said Krammes used his laptop to download and distribute the images through a peer-to-peer file sharing network in May and July.

Krammes was charged with three counts of distribution of child pornography, five counts of possession, and one count of illegal use of a communications facility after police allegedly found several pornographic videos containing children on his laptop.

Krammes recently moved back into the Rock Apartments at SRU from his parents’ home in Pine Grove, Schuylkill County.

Both the Slippery Rock and Pine Grove police departments were involved in the investigation.

Krammes is in the Butler County Prison on $50,000 bail.

His preliminary hearing is 2:45 p.m. Aug. 14 before Slippery Rock District Judge Timothy Shaffer.
