A Bensalem man stands accused of uploading and saving pornographic images involving children to his Google account.
Michael Dunbar, 55, was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Michael W. Gallagher Thursday morning on one felony count of child pornography and one count of criminal use of communication facility with his bail set at 10 percent of $300,000.00.
According to Bensalem Police, on Thursday, April 25, 2024, a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) was received. The tip referenced a particular Google account that had uploaded and saved numerous videos depicting child pornography, including prepubescent boys and girls engaging in sexual acts with each other. Detectives began an investigation and were able to determine that the owner/user of the Google account was Dunbar.
On Thursday, June 20, 2024, Bensalem Detectives served a search warrant on Dunbar’s residence. The suspect was interviewed, and he allegedly admitted to intentionally uploading child pornography into his Google account after finding the videos on the Dark Web.
Bensalem authorities did not comment about the results of the executed search warrant.
Dunbar was unable to post bail as of early Friday morning and was remanded to Bucks County Correctional Facility. He is currently scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing on July 2 and has no attorney of record presently, according to court records.
