RENO, Nev. (AP) _ Police say two Reno men have been arrested for
possessing child pornography following an investigation by an
Internet crimes against children task force.

Authorities say 49-year-old Richard Allan Cassady is a
registered sex offender with previous child pornography convictions
in Washoe County and Pennsylvania.

Investigators allege Cassady had been posing as a 13-year-old
girl on a social networking site to befriend young girls.

He was being held on $57,000 bail.

A taxicab driver, 51-year-old Richard Allen Lancaster, also was
arrested.

Investigators say Lancaster was booked on three counts of
possession of child pornography and distribution. His bail was set
at $47,000.
