The Garden City scout leader arrested on child pornography charges was arraigned Thursday morning.

Edward Orenchuk, III, was arraigned before Judge Sondra Pardes on three counts of Promoting a Sexual Performance by A Child as a Sexually Motivated Felony and three counts of Possessing a Sexual Performance by a Child.

During August and September 2012, Nassau County District Attorney investigators witnessed Orenchuk making multiple images of child pornography available over the Internet for download by other people, Rice said. Investigators tracked the source of those images to a Wheeler Avenue residence in E. Garden City, according to the district attorney's office.

Bail was set at $400,000 bond or $100,000 cash and he is due back in court on Dec. 17. Orenchuk was represented at arraignment by the Legal Aid Society of Nassau County.

just reading Jane Goodall with my son for school and came across this quote of an amazing womanRead More "every individual matters, every individual has a role to play, every individual makes a difference." that is what makes our nation, our village so great everyone has an opinion whether we agree with it or not. It just saddens me to think some may not voice their opinion in the future because of the rather harsh comments which I'm sure were just meant to get a point across rather than be hurtful. Garden City residents are not afraid to get involved, to stand up for what they believe in and I am proud to live here.
