Andrew Lewis, 32, of Quakertown.
Andrew Gregory Lewis, of Quakertown, is free on $250,000 unsecured bail.
A Quakertown man pleaded guilty to felony charges of child pornography and criminal use of a communication device at a guilty plea hearing Thursday morning in Bucks County Common Pleas Court, stemming from an investigation that involved the FBI, Homeland Security and multiple police agencies.
Court officials said sentencing will be deferred for 90 days for Andrew Gregory Lewis, 32, who is free on $250,000 unsecured bail. A felony charge of dissemination of child sex acts was withdrawn at an August preliminary hearing.
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 complaint. The IP address associated with the computer was registered to Verizon, and Verizon identified the owner as Lewis, per the affidavit.
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 assisted in the investigation with 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.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Gabriella Simonelli. Lewis was represented by Philadelphia attorney Anthony Godshall.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
