Police announced the arrest of a man on child pornography charges the same time they announced the creation of a special unit specifically designed to combat such abuse.

Following an investigation, police allege Derek J. Caponigro, 43, of Giribaldi Street in Roseto, was involved not only in sharing child pornography, but in making it.

He is charged with numerous counts of corruption, assault, endangerment and abuse, with more charges pending.

Caponigro was remanded to Northampton County prison in lieu of $150,000 bail.
