An Alpharetta man who volunteered to photograph neighborhood functions such as swim meets and fall festivals has been charged with possession of child porn, the FBI announced Thursday.
Dirk LaPaglia, 53, is accused of superimposing children's faces collected from photos he had snapped on top of pornographic images. The FBI said he was found with "hundreds of such images."
Johns Creek police were alerted to LaPaglia after he was accused of stalking a minor child, anonymously sending them suggestive packages, an FBI spokesman said. He was charged with stalking on April 15 and Johns Creek authorities say there may have been other victims.
LaPaglia pleaded not guilty in federal court Thursday afternoon, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Parents concerned about their children's pictures being included among those LaPaglia is alleged to have possessed should contact the FBI.
