Warminster Pediatric Aide Gets Prison For 56K Child-Porn Images

Cameron Carlucci, of Philadelphia, worked for about six months as a medical assistant for a children's doctor in Warminster.

WARMINSTER, PA — A medical assistant who worked for a Warminster pediatrician is headed to prison after being convicted of possessing and distributing more than 56,000 images of child pornography.

U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain announced that Cameron Carlucci, 27, of Philadelphia, was sentenced to 151 months in federal prison, followed by 10 years supervised release.

Carlucci was convicted of distributing and possessing child pornography from 2016 through his arrest in 2018. During that time, he amassed more than 56,000 images and videos that depicted mostly prepubescent boys, infants, and toddlers being sexually abused and exploited.

Carlucci worked as a medical technician at Valley Pediatrics in Warminster, a job he attained by falsifying his application. In his application, he denied he had a criminal history after being convicted in 2011 on charges of possession of obscene materials, authorities say.

He was sentenced to five years probation in that case.

"Not only did this defendant commit the heinous crime of possessing and distributing child pornography, he lied to get a job that would put him in close proximity to children," McSwain said. "Parents and caregivers bring their children to doctors' offices with the expectation that they will be safe and cared for, not in the presence of a known sexual predator. We thank the judge in this case for ensuring that Carlucci will be behind bars and unable to be in contact with children for a very long time."

At the time of Carlucci's guilty plea in the case, Dr. Ronald Endo, of Valley Pediatrics, released a statement saying Carlucci had worked at the practice for about six months in a job that did not put him in direct contact with children.

A thorough investigation showed that none of the practice's clients or their information had been compromised by Carlucci, Endo said.
