Montgomery Co. music teacher arrested on child porn charges

A Bethesda, Maryland, music teacher who gave private lessons from his home was arrested Thursday for possession of child pornography.

Charles Victor Kopfstein-Penk, 74, is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after a monthslong investigation by the Maryland State Police Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
