A retired Air Force general was arrested and charged Wednesday with more than a dozen felony counts related to possession of child pornography after investigators found thousands of searches on his computer for explicit images, the Pennsylvania attorney general announced.
Retired Brig. Gen. Frank Sullivan’s Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, home was raided last month by special agents from the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, Homeland Security Investigations and the Hampden Township Police Department. The agents’ search of the home revealed Sullivan’s desktop and laptop computers were filled with searches of preteen children, which resulted in 15 second-degree felony counts of sexual abuse of children and one count of criminal use of a communication facility, according to a news release from the attorney general.
Agents with the attorney general’s office also discovered Sullivan’s penchant for viewing the illegal images during an investigation of a file sharing network, according to the release.
Following his military retirement, he served for a time as the executive director of the Pennsylvania Military Community Enhancement Commission, a program of the state’s Department of Community & Economic Development that funds projects related to the military.
