Andrew Lewis, 32, of Quakertown.
A Quakertown man waived all three felony charges against him – dissemination of photographs or film of child sex acts, child pornography and criminal use of a communication facility – at a preliminary hearing Monday morning before Magisterial District Judge Stacy Wertman.
Andrew Gregory Lewis, 32, is free on $250,000 unsecured bail, set at his July 3 arraignment by Wertman, per court records, stemming from a November 2023 incident in Warrington Township.
On Nov. 12, 2023, Warrington Township Police investigated the online sharing of child sexual abuse material and found a computer that was sharing child pornography content on the BitTorrent network, police said.
Investigators subsequently downloaded more than 200 files from the computer, per the affidavit. The IP address associated with the computer was registered to Verizon, per the complaint, and Verizon identified the owner as Lewis.
A search warrant was executed at Lewis' home and several electronic devices were seized, investigators said.
These devices were analyzed and additional child pornography material was found on them, police said.
Lewis turned himself in to Warrington Township Police on July 3, 2024, police said.
The Warrington Police Department were assisted in the investigation by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Quakertown Borough Police Department, the Bensalem Township Police Department, the Middletown Township Police Department, the Hilltown Township Police Department, and the FBI's Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory for their assistance with this investigation, police said.
A date has not been set as of Monday for an arraignment in Bucks County Common Pleas Court.
