Cambria County man caught with child porn during probation
CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — A Nanty Glo man is facing charges after he was allegedly found to have child pornography on his cellphone when probation officers were conducting a visit.
Latham Cohoon, 35, is facing charges of possession of child sex abuse material after a routine home visit led to the discovery of child porn, according to a criminal complaint. On May 2, the Cambria County Probation arrived at a home on Johnson Street in the Nanty Glo Borough for a routine visit with Cohoon.
According to Pennsylvania's Megan's Law website, Cohoon was charged and convicted in 2021 with crimes against children. In March of 2023, he was charged with possession of child pornography, and in April, he was charged with sexual abuse of children.

Cohoon answered the door for officers and allowed them into his home. He also allegedly allowed them to look around his house. According to the affidavit, a probation officer asked Cohoon if he had a cell phone, and he initially told them that it was at his sister's house. Then he admitted that it was in the house and showed it to the police.
When the probation officer asked him if there was anything on it, he allegedly stated, 'You know what's on the phone.' Police asked him if child pornography was going to be on the phone, and he stated 'There was,' according to the complaint.
Cohoon gave police permission to search the phone, and 'numerous images consistent with child pornography' were found. The cell phone was seized and placed into evidence.
Cohoon is set to be arraigned in the near future and is facing felony charges of disseminating photos/film of child sex acts, possessing child sexual abuse material and criminal use of a communication facility.
