Plymouth Man Had 3,200 Images, 165 Videos Of Child Pornography: DA

PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA -- A Plymouth Meeting man has been arrested after authorities found more than 3,2000 images and 165 videos of children performing sex acts on his computer and cell phones, according to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.

Brian K. Hyson, 34, now faces more than 100 felony charges of dissemination of child pornography, sexaully abusing children, and related counts.

Authorities were tipped off to Hyson when an undercover Abington police detective found a computer that had been specially configured to anonymously share files with others, the DA said.

When police connected to the computer, they received nine video files of child pornography, according to the DA.

A search warrant was executed at Hyson's residence on the 2400 block of Butler Pike on Feb. 28, the DA said. When Hyson answered the door, he told police that he knew why they were there, and admitted immediately to having child pornography, according to a criminal complaint.

A preliminary hearing is set for May 11.

Assistant District Attorney James Price will prosecute the case.
