A Bristol Township man was recently sentenced two to four years in a state correctional facility following an investigation that uncovered thousands of pornographic images involving children on his electronic devices.
Jacob N. Mamolou’s conviction stems from an investigation launched on Dec. 4, 2024, by the Pennsylvania State Police Computer Crime Unit. The investigation focused on a computer user who requested blocks of suspected child pornography files.
He was sentenced on Wednesday by Common Pleas Judge Wallace H. Bateman Jr. following his guilty plea on June 26 to one count of child pornography, authorities said,
Mamolou , in addition to prison time will also serve a consecutive sentence of five years of probation. Mamolou was also ordered to register as a sex offender for 15 years under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), authorities said in a press release.
Pennsylvania State Police investigators confirmed that the computer user who requested child pornography had an IP address registered to a Verizon account held by Mamolou, located at an address on Azalea Lane in Bristol Township.
On Jan. 22, 2025, police executed a search warrant at Mamolou’s residence. The investigation found that Mamolou lived in the home for about seven years, was the only occupant and did not share his password-protected Wi-Fi network, officials said.
A forensic examination of 45 electronic devices seized from the home revealed overwhelming evidence. Investigators found more than 12,000 media files, both pictures and videos, depicting apparent child pornography across the devices, according to court records.
An 8TB encrypted hard drive in a custom PC tower contained over 11,886 media files of child pornography. The PC’s hard drives contained other items that included a PDF file of a utility bill in Mamolou’s name, his saved credit card information, and email accounts that linked the device to him, investigators said in court papers.
The computer software application used to request the blocks of suspected child pornography files was found installed on the device.
In addition, a Google Pixel 6 cell phone that belonged to Mamolou was examined and found to contain more than 86 files containing child pornography.
The media files that were discovered depicted prohibited sexual acts involving children under the age of 18, with some victims described as toddlers as young as 18 months.
This case was investigated by the Pennsylvania State Police Computer Crime Unit, with assistance from the Bristol Township Police Department and the Attorney General’s Office. This case was prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Monica W. Furber.
