Delco Man Arrested on Child Porn Charges

The 49-year-old is charged with over 300 counts of child pornography.

A 49-year-old Delaware County man was arrested and charged with child pornography on Thursday, according to police.

James McWilliams of the 100 block of West Maryland Avenue in Aldan, Pa., is the 60th person arrested by the Delaware County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force this year, reports the Delaware County Daily Times.

According to an affidavit obtained by the Times, authorities began investigating McWilliams back in May after an undercover detective traced shared child porn files back to him.

In July, authorities visited the man’s home with a search warrant. They confiscated two computers and other items, says the Delco Times.

During the visit, McWilliams gave a statement to investigators admitting he's viewed hundred of pornographic images of kids, reports the paper.

McWilliams was freed after posting 10 percent of his $100K bail.

A hearing is set for Dec. 2.
