Bucks Co. Man, 60, Lured Girls Into Sending Him Sexual Videos: DA

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA —A 60-year-old Hulmeville man lured underage girls into sending him sex videos after pretending to be a teenage boy, authorities said.

Mark William Wills, 60, of Hulmeville, created several fake online identities pretending to be a teenage boy so he could lure underage girls into sending him sexually inappropriate videos, which he then shared on other social media platforms, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office.

He was captured last week in West Virginia, federal authorities said.

Willis is charged with manufacturing and disseminating child sexual abuse material, possession of child pornography, unlawful contact with a minor, dissemination of sexually explicit materials to minors, interception of oral communications, criminal use of a communication facility, and invasion of privacy.

Authorities said the videos were created from June to January. Four of the underage girls have been identified, and others have not. Additional charges are expected to be filed.

In these videos, Wills would engage in chat and video conversations with the underage females and direct them to undress and perform sex acts, authorities allege.

On Feb. 4, detectives were able to verify the identity of one of the females depicted in the screen recordings and confirmed she was only 13 years old, authorities said.

A CyberTip indicated that a user on the messaging application Kik was sharing multiple files containing child sexual abuse material between Nov. 10-18. The investigation found that the user shared six unique video files containing the videos.

The second CyberTip reported that a Snapchat user shared obscene files on Aug. 4. The Kik social media platform provided information that included the user’s email and username.

Authorities said the investigation also found that the Kik user sent messages through the app, making obscene comments about the girls in the video and what he could have them do.

The user’s account included several selfie-style images of a shirtless adult man with salt-and-pepper hair. The selfie image was visibly consistent with the driver’s license image of Wills, authorities said.

On Jan. 24, police executed a search warrant at Wills home in Hulmeville, seizing numerous electronic devices, including four cellphones, a computer, and three USB drives. Detectives also seized handwritten documents that included a list of online accounts and identities of male subjects with their dates of birth, email addresses, passwords and in some instances, the date and time they were created.

The handwritten documents contained instructions on how to delete Google and Snapchat accounts, as well as applications such as Kik, TikTok, Snapchat, Quora, Calculator Vault and A-Z screen recorder, police said.

Officials said the documents also included the names or usernames of several online accounts, which indicated the users were females under the age of 18. The documents provided notes on any past interaction Wills had with the underage females.

Additionally, the forensic extraction led to the discovery of several hundred screen recordings, which contained hours of videos showing Wills interacting online with several apparent underage females, police said.

Wills was taken into custody on Feb. 12 by the U.S. Marshals Service in Clarksburg, West Virginia. He is awaiting extradition and being held without bond, authorities said.
