Patrick Winslow Fox, 42, of the 2000 block of Wharton Road in the Glenside section of Abington Township, was sentenced two to four years in prison on multiple felony charges of sexual abuse of children and possessing child pornography, Mainline Media News reported.
According to the story, Fox pleaded guilty to the charges earlier this year and has been ordered to have no contact with minors. He also faces a 15-year requirement to report his address to state police.
The investigation began in November 2021 after Abington Detective Rick Beaghley connected with Fox’s computer network, which contained multiple images and videos of children under the age of 18 engaged in sexual acts or in sexually explicit poses.
On May 5, 2022, detectives showed up at Fox’s residence with a search warrant. A forensic examination of the computer located 1,202 images of minors, the vast majority of which were of pre-pubescent children, including approximately 60 images depicting children under 5-years-old.
