By KARA SEYMOUR

A 51-year-old Montgomery County man who allegedly filmed children changing at Dorney Park for more than a decade is facing child pornography charges, United States Attorney Zane David Memeger announced Thursday.

Kurt Eichert, 51, of Wyndmoor, is facing one count of production of child pornography, two counts of distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.

The indictment alleges that from June 2005 to about September 2015, Eichert produced child pornography from images used at the park.

“Eichert is alleged to have surreptitiously recorded children changing their clothes in Dorney Park,” Memeger said.

Eichert is also charged with distributing child pornography in May 2015 and possessing images of child pornography in September 2015.

If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison with a maximum possible sentence of 80 years, authorities said.

The case was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”) and the Abington Township Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Josh A. Davison.
