Baby Store Employee Arrested On Child Porn Charges

Pennsylvania Police Notify Local Authorities Of Pictures, Videos

POSTED: Tuesday, January 11, 2005

A Clarkston man was arrested after police say he posted pornographic images of children on the Web.

Nicholas Michael Baker, who worked at a local Babies R Us store, was arrested on Dec. 3 after Pennsylvania State Police notified local authorities that he was running a server with pictures and videos of child pornography on it, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard told The Oakland Press for a story.

Baker, 20, was charged with three counts of distributing child sexually abusive material, a 7-year felony; three counts of using a computer to commit a crime, a 4- to 10-year felony and four counts of possessing child sexually abusive material, a 4-year felony, the paper reported.

In two separate, but similar cases, Oakland County Sheriff's deputies arrested Frank Thomas Jones, 50, of Canton and Joseph Patrick Horvath Jr., 49, of Livonia.

Bouchard told the paper that both Jones and Horvath attempted to set up meetings for sex with underage boys in online chat rooms.

Jones was arrested on Dec. 22 in Highland Township, where he had arranged to meet the boy, the paper reported. Horvath was arrested Dec. 28 in Milford.

"Once again, the men and women of the computer crimes unit have removed predators of children from the street," Bouchard told the paper. "It also serves as a reminder to all parents of the sad but ever-present threat in today's world to our children."
