BENSALEM, PA — A Bensalem man has been charged with possessing and distributing child sexual abuse material following a months-long investigation that began with a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), according to the Bensalem Township Police Department.
Police said that on July 18, 2025, NCMEC alerted investigators to suspected online activity originating from Bensalem involving the attempted upload and acquisition of child sexual abuse material. Detectives from the Bensalem Police Department’s Special Victims Unit launched an investigation that led them to a residence on the 2400 block of Finley Avenue.
Detectives identified the sole occupant of the residence as 62-year-old Daniel Berry of Bensalem. A search warrant was obtained, and investigators seized multiple electronic devices for forensic analysis.
According to police, the forensic examination revealed hundreds of images and videos depicting apparent child sexual abuse material, including prepubescent children engaged in sexual acts with adults. Investigators also reported finding an image of a nude young girl, estimated to be between five and six years old, who appeared bound, along with other material allegedly depicting the abuse of children as young as toddlers.
Following the investigation, an arrest warrant was issued on October 23, 2025, charging Berry with multiple offenses, including Sexual Abuse of Children (Abuse Material) and Criminal Use of a Communication Facility.
Bristol Township Police located and arrested Berry on the active warrant before transferring him to Bensalem Police custody. He was arraigned before District Justice Lisa Gaier and remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on 10 percent of $500,000 bail.
The Bensalem Township Police Department stated that it remains committed to protecting children and ensuring accountability in cases of exploitation. Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding child sexual abuse or online exploitation to contact Bensalem Police at (215) 633-3719 or submit a confidential tip through the department’s website.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
