Richard Adamsky, 66, of Warminster, entered a guilty plea this week on one count of receipt and attempted receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography, U.S. Attorney David Metcalf said.
The Bucks County District Attorney's Office in June charged Adamsky with collecting hundreds of sexually explicit images of prepubescent girls. Those charges were then turned over to federal authorities.

He coached football, softball, basketball, and track and field at Nativity as well as Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster, the Warrington Athletic Association, and Lenape Middle School in Central Bucks.
Adamsky was indicted in September 2025 for knowingly receiving a visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct on or about June 15, 2024, federal authorities said.
He possessed two computers and two flash drives containing visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. These depictions included prepubescent minors and minors under 12 years of age, authorities said.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
