Blair Co., PA (WJAC) — Authorities in Blair County have filed over 100 new counts of various charges against an Altoona man who was arrested last month after being accused of inappropriately filming a 3-year-old child.
Police say Nasir Garner was arrested on July 17th following an investigation into allegations that he was discovered recording an acquaintance's young daughter while the child was semi-clothed.
Upon further investigation, police say officers seized multiple devices that belonged to Garner, one of which reportedly contained nearly 300 images of suspected child pornography.
Authorities say dozens of the videos and pictures also reportedly showed Garner sexually assaulting two young children inside his Altoona apartment while they were sleeping.
According to online court records, Garner was arraigned Wednesday on various charges including 45 counts of child pornography, 43 counts of filming/photographing sex acts and several counts of indecent assault.
Investigators also noted in the affidavit that additional charges could be filed against Garner once authorities complete their search of his other phone that was seized.
Garner is being held at the Blair County Prison on $750,000 bail.
