Andrew Liebman, of Willow Grove was arrested and charged with multiple felonies earlier this week including dissemination of child pornography, sexual abuse of children/child pornography, and criminal use of a communication facility.

Investigators reviewed the files and determined they depicted children under the age of 18 engaged in sexual acts or in sexually explicit poses.

The computer was traced back to Liebman's home according to the District Attorney's office. Liebman's computer was seized, and investigators found sexually explicit images and videos of child pornography.

Liebman was arrested this past Saturday and arraigned before he was released on $25,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 30 th .
