Whelan said Martin Lambert, 43, of Haverford Township, was arrested after an investigation of peer-to-peer, file-sharing programs for the distribution and sharing of child pornography. He said detectives with the District Attorney’s Delaware County Criminal Investigation (CID) and PA Internet Crime Against Children (ICAC) Task Force executed a search warrant at Lambert’s home in the unit block of Castle Rock Drive on Jan. 15, the release said.

Lambert allowed CID Detectives, along with the Department of Homeland Security and officers with the Haverford Township Police Department, to enter the residence without incident. During the search, a number of pieces of digital equipment were confiscated from the property, including an Apple Mac Pro computer containing two hard drives. During a forensic examination of a hard drive, 44 images of child pornography, some depicting children under 14 engaged in sex acts, were recovered, the release said.

"Those who possess child pornography contribute to the appalling exploitation of innocent children and our detectives with the ICAC Task Force are actively working to locate and arrest them," Whelan said in the release. "I would like to commend Det. Ken Bellis, Det. Edmond Pisani and the ICAC Task Force for their continued work to find and apprehend these perpetrators.”

Lambert surrendered to detectives on Tuesday, June 21, at CID headquarters. He was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Elisa Lacianca, who set bail at 10 percent of $150,000. Lambert failed to post that amount and was remanded to the Delaware County Prison to await a preliminary hearing on Thursday, June 30.
