A man who lives right by Forestville School and who sources say was the score keeper for a number of school sports games has been arrested for possessing child pornography.

New York State Police in Fredonia arrested 62-year-old Robert Howard last week.  Troopers investigated after getting a report of possible child pornography, and were able to find Howard based on his computer's IP address.

The Forestville Superintendent says Howard is no longer affiliated with the district, but he was the score keeper there for a number of years, up to last year.

Howard is facing ten felony counts of Possessing a Sexual Performance by a Child, and two felony counts of two counts of Promoting a Sexual Performance by a Child.  He was arraigned and taken to the Chautauqua County Jail.
