Child Porn Charges In Pennsylvania Lead To Abingdon Man's Arrest: Report

ABINGDON, MD — A 34-year-old Abingdon man has been arrested in connection to the possession and distribution of child pornography in Pennsylvania.

Daniel J. Huber, who previously lived in Muhlenberg Township, surrendered Thursday and was released from the Berks County Courthouse on $25,000 unsecured bail, according to the Berks County district attorney's office.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified detectives about digital files suspected to be child sexual abuse material (CSAM) were being shared via KIK, the Reading Eagle reported. Five additional NCMEC complaints followed, all linked to similar activity, authorities disclosed.

Investigators traced the IP address used to distribute the files and linked it to Huber, the district attorney's office stated. Officers executed a search warrant at a Muhlenberg Township residence where detectives confiscated two cell phones. Huber allegedly confessed during an interview with detectives to possessing and sharing CSAM, the Reading Eagle reported.

A forensic analysis of the devices by the district attorney's forensic services unit confirmed the presence of CSAM on one of the phones, officials said.

Huber has been charged with:

• Felony sexual abuse of children – dissemination of child pornography
• Felony sexual abuse of children – possession of child pornography
• Felony criminal use of a communications facility
