SHIPPINGPORT – A former Western Pennsylvania nuclear plant worker was ordered to stand trial on charges he downloaded child pornography pictures on his work computer because he was bored.
Raymond Fischer Jr., 60, of Harmony, will stand trial in May after he waived a preliminary hearing last week.
FirstEnergy Corp. said the company promptly reported the images when they were found in October 2013, and fired Fischer from the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station three days later.
The state police Bureau of Criminal Investigation said 51 printed images of children ages 10 to 16 were found in Fischer’s open locker, and hundreds more on his work computer.
Fischer’s defense attorney didn’t immediately return a call for comment Thursday.
