Hatboro Man Pleads Guilty To Child Pornography Possession, Distribution

Hatboro, PA -- A Hatboro man charged with 52 counts of possessing and distributing child pornography has pleaded guilty to the felony counts, according to court documents.

Kenneth R. Lewis, 44, of 57 Rorer Avenue, was arrested in Pennsylvania in late 2015 as part of the state’s ongoing crackdown on the sexual exploitation of children, the attorney general’s office said.

Lewis was arrested after an undercover investigation identified him as a likely suspect online.

A search warrant at his residence revealed multiple images indicative of child pornography. In total, 52 counts of possession and one count of distribution were brought against him.

Sentencing has been deferred to a later date.

Lewis’ arrest follows an unfortunate pattern for child pornography in the Hatboro-Horsham area.

Arrests related to individuals with massive stashes of child pornography were made in Hatboro and Horsham in May, August, and October of 2015.
