Geoffrey Portway of Worcester was charged in July after state and federal agents allegedly found child pornography and photos of children who appeared to be dead on his computer.

BOSTON — A Massachusetts man charged in an international child porn investigation will continue to be held without bail.

Geoffrey Portway of Worcester was charged in July after state and federal agents allegedly found child pornography and photos of children who appeared to be dead on his computer.

He is among 46 people arrested in an investigation that began with the arrest of another Massachusetts man, Robert Diduca, who has been sentenced to 18 years in prison. Authorities have identified more than 140 child victims in seven countries.

Last month, Portway agreed to be held without bail on charges of possession and distribution of child pornography. On Wednesday, he waived his right to a preliminary hearing.

No date was immediately set for Portway's next court appearance.
