A Washington man accused of downloading child pornography to his Drop Box account will stand trial. Darion Thompson, 23 is accused by Pennsylvania State Police of downloading several files to his devices that contain child pornography. Thompson had his preliminary hearing on Wednesday where he through an interpreter agreed to have all charges held for court without a hearing. He faces 20 charges of child pornography and one charge of criminal use of a communications device. Through a search warrant served by state police in April, Thompson was found to have as many as 20 files of child pornography on two cell phones. One of the files depicted a child younger than a year old. Thompson was free on bond from an earlier incident where he was charged with child pornography and criminal use of a communications device when the new charges were levied. Thompson is in the Washington County Jail without bond. He will be arraigned on June 29.
