NEW BRIGHTON, Pa. — A man from Beaver Falls is in jail facing 100 counts of child porn charges after police say they found more than 2,500 explicit images on the man’s phone.
Police say Luke Poteete, 22, had the images on his phone of children between the ages of two and 10-years-old, and say there are likely more.
The investigation that found these images was in connection to a separate case where police allege Poteete sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl in 2025.
Channel 11’s Andrew Havranek spoke with the Beaver County District Attorney about the case. How investigators say that case led police to find these child porn images, coming up on Channel 11 News at 5 and 6.
