According to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, investigators traced the alleged possession and sharing of illegal material to an internet protocol address associated with Grevera’s residence.

Agents executed a search warrant late last month at a residence on the 100 block of East Union Street in Nanticoke.

Authorities allege that Grevera initially falsely claimed he was not home before eventually answering the door.

Investigators seized electronic devices allegedly containing hundreds of images and videos depicting child sexual abuse.

A subsequent examination determined that Grevera allegedly distributed at least 99 files, according to the Attorney General’s Office.
