Delco Man Had 75,000 Child Porn Photos, Videos: U.S. Attorney

A Delaware County man has been charged after authorities say they found a collection of 75,000 images and videos of child pornography in his possession.

Jeffrey Keagle, 48, of Folcroft, has been charged by indictment for the distribution, receipt and possession of a collection of more than 75,000 images and videos of children being sexually abused and in sexually explicit positions, United States Attorney Zane David Memeger said.

Keagle is currently being held in Delaware County on local charges. He will be transported for his initial appearance in Magistrate Court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, according to information from Memeger's office.

If convicted, Keagle faces up to 80 years in prison and $1,000,000 in fines.

The 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.

The Delaware County District Attorney’s Office Criminal Investigation Division and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michelle Rotella.
