Crafton man facing child porn charges after allegedly recording girls undressing at youth facility

CANONSBURG, Pa. — A Crafton man was arrested and is facing felony child pornography charges.

Police said Anthony Fletcher was secretly recording underage girls undressing at the Armory Youth Center in Canonsburg. Officials said he set up a hidden camera inside the girls restroom at the faith based non-profit that works with kids in the area.

The investigation began when Microsoft flagged his IP address for uploading child pornography. A search warrant at his home revealed disturbing videos and photographs.

Youth for Christ Pittsburgh sent Channel 11 a statement about the situation:

“Youth For Christ was contacted by authorities this week and informed that a third-party user, unaffiliated with YFC as either an employee or volunteer, who rented space at our Armory facility was charged and arrested for a crime.

“We are shocked and deeply saddened by the actions of this individual. Everyone affected by this situation remains in our prayers.

“YFC continues to maintain the highest standards of morality and personal conduct for all YFC employees and volunteers as we serve the youth in our community.

“Due to the ongoing investigation taking place, we are unable to make further comment.”
