Tuesday, December 06, 2005

A nationally known motivational speaker from suburban Pittsburgh was arrested in Arkansas on charges of possessing child pornography.

Police in Fayetteville, Ark., said they found child pornography on a laptop computer belonging to Michael V. Fortino, president and founder of The Center for Lifestyle Management.

The pornography was discovered when Fortino, 45, of Bellevue, took his laptop to a store there for repairs, Fayetteville police said.

Fortino was facing three charges of viewing and possessing sexually explicit material involving a child, police said.

Fortino was arrested last Wednesday and the Washington County Jail in Fayetteville said he was released Friday on $5,000 bond.
