Havertown Man Had Thousands Of Child Porn Images, Videos: DA

HAVERTOWN, PA — A Delaware County man is facing more than 100 counts of child pornography-related charges after authorities say he had nearly 3,000 child porn images and hundreds of child porn videos.

District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said Daryll Damon Claxton, 44, of Havertown, has been arrested and charged with more than 100 felony criminal counts related to the sexual abuse of children through the possession and dissemination of child pornography.

Calxton is facing three counts of sexual abuse of children through dissemination of child pornography; 50 counts of sexual abuse of children through possession of child pornography; and 53 counts of criminal use of a communication facility.

Claxton's home was searched March 5 on a warrant.

More than 40 computers, laptops, external hard drives, flash drives, and micro SD cards were seized and examined.

A forensic examination of the devices was conducted by detectives with the Criminal Investigation Division. The examination revealed that, in addition to multiple layers of encryption, the defendant utilized a variety of techniques to conceal his child pornography activities.

Bail was set at $250,000, cash. Claxton was not able to post bail and was remanded to the George W. Hill Correctional Facility.

His preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 14.
