Man Possessed 700 Child Porn Images, Some A-I Generated: Bucks DA

WARMINSTER, PA — A township man has been charged with possessing and distributing child pornography, some of which was created using Artificial Intelligence, and also included nearly 700 images, authorities said.

Christopher L. O'Neill, 46, of Warminster, was also charged with a recent burglary where he stole a pair of girl’s underwear, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office said.

O'Neill was formally charged on Tuesday with sharing images and videos of child sexual abuse, possessing child pornography, and criminal use of a communication facility.

The charges stem from an investigation initiated on June 10 by the Bucks County District Attorney's Office, following several CyberTips received from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

The investigation found that between September 26, 2024, and May 7, 2025, O'Neill saved, shared, and/or uploaded a substantial quantity of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

This included 694 photos and videos found in Google Photos, as well as two images from PicsArt, authorities said. Some of this content was AI-generated, authorities said.

Detectives confirmed the illicit nature of these files after review.

In a separate incident on June 28, 2025, O'Neill is accused of illegally entering a home in Warminster and stealing various items, including a pair of girl’s underwear.

As a result, he also faces charges of burglary, criminal trespassing, theft, and receiving stolen property. O’Neill was arraigned on the child exploitation charges on Tuesday and remanded to Bucks County Correctional Facility under $500,000 bail, 10 percent.

He was given an additional $2 million bail after his arraignment on the burglary charges on Thursday.
