Two Lancaster men face sexual abuse charges related to child pornography, city police said Friday.

White was charged with two counts of sexual abuse of children for alleged possession of child pornography and a count of criminal use of communication facilities, police said.
Kemps was charged by Detective Aaron Harnish with the assistance of Detective David Weiser. White was charged by Detective Lt. Charles Schmidt.
Both were arraigned by District Judge Kelly Ballentine and released on unsecured bail.
