Pennsylvania man accused of creating child porn in U.S. and Canada arrested in West Virginia
A Pennsylvania man was arrested in West Virginia last week for allegedly creating and distributing child porn videos across the U.S. and Canada, authorities said Tuesday.
Mark Wills, 60, of Hulmeville, Pennsylvania was tracked down by the U.S. Marshals Service in West Virginia and arrested for manufacturing and disseminating child sexual abuse material (CSAM), Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn said.
Wills is accused of victimizing at least four children across the continent and sharing CSAM videos online. Investigators want to make the public aware of Wills and encourage more victims not known to law enforcement to come forward.
Investigators claim Wills created fake social media accounts pretending to be young boys to lure underage girls into sending him sexually inappropriate videos.
Four victims have been identified, but investigators believe there could be up to 20, Schorn said. She said three of the victims were out of state, and one was in Canada.
"The strength is in numbers in these cases. This investigation is so airtight. There's no question we will have a successful prosecution, but we don't want victims unidentified," Schorn said. "We have services that we can provide them and will provide them once they're identified."
Schorn said the investigation began in December 2024 after they received two CyberTips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. One of the tips alleged a Kik user was sharing six video files of CSAM between Nov. 10 and Nov. 18. The second tip claimed a Snapchat user was sharing obscene materials in August 2024.
The district attorney said Bucks County detectives linked the Kik account to an IP address in the 300 block of Main Street in the Hulmeville borough, where Wills lived.
Schorn said investigators executed a search warrant at Wills' house on Jan. 24 and seized electronic devices, including four cellphones, a computer and three USB drives.
Detectives also found handwritten documents that included details about victims and false identities of young males with names, dates of birth, email addresses and passwords, according to the DA.
Schorn said there were also documents with instructions on how to delete accounts on Google, Snapchat, Kik, TikTok, AZ Screen Recorder and other applications. She said detectives found notes on Wills' past interactions with underage girls, and names and usernames of accounts indicated the users were young girls under 18 years old.
The DA said detectives found hundreds of screen recordings showing Wills interacting with young girls. Wills is accused of sharing the videos online. Schorn added the first video was from June 16, 2024, and the most recent was from January 2025. The youngest victim appeared to be under 13 years old.
According to an image shown during a news conference, at least five social media accounts were linked back to Wills:
- 18kevinmcbride (Kik)
- Kevthompson2009 (Snapchat)
- Alexharrison2 (Snapchat)
- Lorenzoguerra2 (Snapchat)
- Kevinobrien1007 (Snapchat)
Schorn said that days after detectives executed the search warrant, Wills obtained a burner phone, liquidated over $50,000 in cash, and fled Pennsylvania.
U.S. Marshals received a warrant issued on Feb. 6 for Wills' arrest. The agency's Fugitive Task Force arrested Wills at a mall in Clarksburg, West Virginia, on Feb. 12.
Robert Clark, the supervisory deputy with the U.S. Marshals Service, said Tuesday that Wills was arrested with a backpack with over $50,000 and documents to apply for Section 8 housing in West Virginia.
Schorn said Wills had evaded police before in the early 1990s and was involved in a criminal enterprise unrelated to child porn.
Wills is being held in the North Central Regional Jail in Doddridge County and will later be extradited to Bucks County.
Investigators are asking anyone with information on Wills or any potential victims to call Bucks County detectives at 215-348-6354.
