us: Pa. Court: Viewing Child Porn on Computer Enough for Possession

The Pennsylvania Superior Court isn’t buying the argument that a man who viewed child pornography on his computer, but didn’t save the images, couldn’t be charged with possession of child pornography. A 7-2 en banc Superior Court panel in Commonwealth v. Diodoro reversed a prior three-judge panel that found there was not sufficient evidence to show Anthony Diodoro downloaded or saved the images of child pornography he viewed.
