Man jailed on 800 porn, child-sex counts

ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — Police say a central Pennsylvania man jailed on 837 child pornography and child-sex counts abused a 6-year-old girl while a 3-year-old girl watched, and made the girls prance around in skimpy, sparkly outfits as part of what he told them was the “fashion model game.”

Online court records don’t list an attorney for 50-year-old David Pulcine, who was arrested late Wednesday by the Altoona police.

The Altoona Mirror reports today that 837 of the 845 charges against Pulcine stem from child-sex images found on his computer in June. That investigation led police to the alleged abuse of the girls in 2008 or 2009, for which he’s charged with two counts each of aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault, child endangerment and corruption of minors.

He faces a preliminary hearing on Wednesday.
