A Harrisburg man – and former youth pastor – was arrested Thursday on 162 counts of possession of child pornography after law enforcement officials received a tip he was uploading child pornography to the Internet.

According to Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico Jr., his office executed a search warrant Thursday morning at the home of Daniel Tipantiza, on Derry Street.

During the search Tipantiza admitted to officers he was uploading child pornography to the Internet, and was subsequently charged and placed in Dauphin County prison in lieu of $150,000 bail. Marsico’s office said several pieces of computer equipment were also seized from Tipantiza’s home and will be searched.
