Feds: Return address led to Pa. child porn arrest

SCRANTON, Pa. - May 5, 2011 (WPVI) -- A northeastern Pennsylvania man faces child pornography charges after investigation that began in Sweden with investigators spotting an address on an envelope in a video.

Federal investigators say 44-year-old Michael Bonsignore, of Dingmans Ferry, Pike County recorded himself having sex with underage girls and distributed the videos online.

The Times-Tribune of Scranton reports investigators tracked down Bonsignore using the return address of the Pike County Domestic Relations Office, which was spotted in one of the videos.

State police say a county family services caseworker identified Bonsignore, who was arrested April 21 in Philadelphia after returning from a vacation in Jamaica. Bonsignore was ordered to remain in custody until his trial.

A call to Bonsignore's attorney was not immediately returned Thursday.
