The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office announced the arrest of Dylan Bragg, 27, of Glenside for felony charges of Possession of Child Pornography and Criminal Use of a Communication Facility. Authorities found more than 100 images of naked children.

In early August the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a
cybertip from someone who reported seeing child pornography on Bragg’s cell phone.

Abington Township Detective Rick Beaghley investigated the complaint and obtained a search warrant for Bragg’s cell phone on October 4. The cell phone turned-up more than 100 images of children between the ages of 3 and 13 in various stages of nudity, with numerous images showing the minors engaged in indecent contact with other children and adults.

According to the affidavit Bragg confessed to downloading the child porn for the past year to masturbate. Bragg was arraigned  today and bail was set at $99,000 cash, and the judge ordered him to have no unsupervised contact with children and he can’t use the  Internet.

The defendant was unable to make bail and was remanded to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for October 15.

Major Crimes Detectives of the Montgomery County Detective Bureau, along with specially trained and sworn detectives from police departments in Montgomery County, routinely work with the ICAC Task Force to protect children from Internet predators by aggressively and proactively investigating Internet crimes that exploit children.
