Pennsylvania state Sen. Michael Folmer arrested for child porn, officials say
By Nicole Darrah | Fox News
Pennsylvania state Sen. Michael Folmer was arrested after allegedly uploading child pornography online, the state's attorney general announced Tuesday.
Folmer, a 63-year-old Republican who represents Lebanon, Dauphin and York counties, was taken into custody after he allegedly uploaded the illegal photos to social networking website Tumblr.
The website reported the photo upload to authorities, which led to an investigation at Folmer's home, a press release from Attorney General Josh Shapiro's office said. While there, investigators allegedly found photos of child porn on his phone.

And of course, the Democrat governor is calling for this Republican senator's resignation:

Doesn't sound good for the senator, but I notice that when it's a Republican in trouble, the Democrats are eager to crucify him. Innocent till proven guilty does not apply.
