EPHRATA, Pa. — The Ephrata Police Department announced the arrest of a man accused of possessing hundreds of pieces of child pornography.

Adrian Brennan, 22, of Ephrata, was allegedly in possession of 386 illicit images of children.

An affidavit of probable cause states that between Oct. 24 and Nov. 4, 2022, a detective with the Lancaster County Digital Forensics Unit notified the Ephrata Police Department of three cybertips concerning someone uploading child pornography to a Google Drive account.

The files were uploaded between June 26 and Aug. 17, 2022, according to a criminal complaint.

Using information gained through investigation into these tips, authorities obtained and served a search warrant at Brennan's Gross Street home on Feb. 2 and allegedly found three cellphones and a laptop which contained the inappropriate photos.

Brennan was charged with three felony counts of possession of child pornography and four felony counts of criminal use of a communication facility on Feb. 15. He was released on $30,000 unsecured bail, according to court documents.
