Cape Man Arrested On Child Porn Charges: Police

BARNSTABLE, MA — Barnstable detectives have arrested a man from the village of Marstons Mills on child pornography charges, following a tip to state police.

Scott Grella, 38, was arraigned Tuesday for possession and dissemination of child pornography, according to a police statement on Wednesday.

The tip prompted police to execute a search warrant this week of Grella’s home. They said an online account, identified as Grella’s, had been used to store and distribute pornographic images of children. At least one of his electronic devices also contained such pornography, according to the statement.

Grella is being held on $3,000 cash bail and is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing Thursday. Police said the investigation is still ongoing. The Cape & Islands District Attorney’s Office will prosecute the case.
