Federal prosecutors say a grand jury has indicted a Rochester man on 74 counts of producing child pornography and possessing indecent materials containing child porn.

Philip Close of Rochester, 42, was charged after a mother noticed a camera in a rest room at his Close School of Music on West Ridge Road in Parma.  Close had been teaching music for more than 20 years. The discovery a year ago last week triggered an investigation and a search of the music school property. Multiple computers and other devices were seized which were found to contain child porn images.

Close will be arraigned on December 14th in Rochester.
