CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. — Retired U.S. Air Force general Frank Sullivan is due to be sentenced on child pornography charges on March 30 at the Cumberland County Courthouse.
Sullivan's sentencing was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but was pushed back by a continuance.
Sullivan was arrested in November 2019 after a search of his Mechanicsburg home led to the discovery of child pornography on his home computer and laptop. He was charged with 15 second-degree felony counts of sexual abuse of children and one count of criminal use of a communication facility.
“General Sullivan’s alleged actions disgrace his work and besmirch the Pennsylvania National Guard, an organization that has bravely and dutifully come to the aid of Pennsylvanians whenever they have been called,” Attorney General Josh Shapiro said in 2019. “I’ve said it time and time again — nobody is above the law. My Office will investigate and prosecute anyone who harms Pennsylvanians, no matter what positions of power they may hold.”
Sullivan is the former executive director of the Pennsylvania Military Community Enhancement Commission and prior to his arrest, a decorated veteran with tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan.
