A Superior man was charged Friday with three counts of felony possession of child pornography.
Timothy Daniel Urbanski was arrested early Wednesday morning after the Superior Police Department received information that a cell phone he'd given a 7-year-old girl contained what appeared to be child pornography.
According to the criminal complaint:
Police obtained a warrant Tuesday to examine the contents of the phone. Superior Police Sgt. Nick Alexander, commander of the Lake Superior Forensic Technology Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, located seven videos in the phone's internal memory that contained images of suspected child pornography. The images included children ranging in age from 5 to 14 in various state of undress and in sexually provocative positions.
Police subsequently executed a warrant at Urbanski's apartment in Bayview Courts and found printed images and photographs of young, pre-pubescent children similar those in the videos on the phone.
During questioning by Superior Police Investigator Thomas Champaign, Urbanski stated he was downloading child pornography, printing it, then shredding it in an attempt to rid the Internet of child pornography. He later admitted saving the child pornography to CDs and DVDs.
Urbanski faces a preliminary hearing on the charges Aug. 10. If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison and $100,000 fine on each count, and a court surcharge of $500 per image or copy of an image.
