Montco Man Forced 10 Young Girls To Make Child Porn, Cause Pain To Themselves: Feds

SCHWENKSVILLE, PA — A Montgomery County pleaded guilty Wednesday to manufacturing child porn after authorities said he coerced 10 victims online.

Michael Blazo, 22, of Schwenksville, preyed on the young girls for more than three years, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Blazo posed as a teenage boy or girl on the internet in order to gain the trust of victims, directing the girls to call him "master" or "mommy" or "daddy," officials said.

He then told the girls that he was sexually gratified by watching them cause pain to themselves, and solicited images and videos displaying these acts numerous times, sometimes multiple times per day, officials said.

Authorities discovered 10 child victims, ranging in age from 11 to 16.

Abuse escalated over time. If the girls expressed reluctance to comply with his demands, he threatened to disseminate the previous sexual images they'd shared with him across the Internet, officials said.

One child begged Blazo to stop and said she would kill herself if he distributed the images, but he continued to threaten her, according to authorities.

Blazo also sexually abused one of the victims in person, the FBI said.

He was originally charged in Dec. 2024. Sentencing is set for Dec. 7. He faces up to 30 years in prison and a lifetime of probation, with a mandatory minimum of 15 years behind bars. As part of his guilty plea agreement, he will be required to make restitution to his victims.
