Trial Set For Former Radnor Commissioner Charged With Child Porn

RADNOR TOWNSHIP, PA – Former Radnor Township Commissioner Philip Ahr will soon answer to 130 total charges related to child pornography.

Court records show Ahr has a trial date set for his alleged crimes.

He will appear in court for his trial on April 23, according to court documents.

Ahr waived his preliminary hearing in late November last year, meaning the 10 counts of disseminating child pornography, 50 counts of child pornography possession, 60 counts of criminal use of a communication facility, and 10 counts of attempted dissemination of child pornography were held over for the looming trial.

Ahr, of the Rosemont section of Radnor Township, was arrested Oct. 11 by Delaware County authorities following the announcement of a county-led investigation of unknown origin targeting Ahr in late September.

He later resigned as the Radnor Township Board of Commissioners president, a position he was elected to in July 2017. However, he maintained his seat as the township's Ward 7 commissioner.

Then in early November, Ahr resigned his role with the board entirely, leaving his seat vacant.

Ahr remains free on 10 percent of $10,000 bail.
