State Police Charge Levittown Man for Having Thousands Child Porno Media Files on Electronic Devices

Pennsylvania State Police arrested and charged a Levittown man for possessing more than 10,000 images and videos depicting children in various stages of undress and engaged in sex acts last week.

According to the probable cause filed by the investigative division of the Pennsylvania State Police, on December 4, 2024, a sexual abuse of children investigation that focused on an IP address observed to be requesting blocks of suspected child pornography files on a network known to law enforcement.

A check on the IP address was conducted through Maxmind’s IP address database. Maxmind, on the same day, indicated that the IP address is provided by Verizon and is believed to be used in the Levittown PA area. An additional check of publicly available records located online by an organization known as the American Registry of Internet Numbers (ARIN), confirmed that the IP address was assigned to Verizon, authorities said.

An administrative subpoena was authorized by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General and served on Verizon. It directed them to release subscriber and other pertinent information regarding the user identified with the identified IP also on the same day.

Verizon, according to court records, responded to the subpoena two weeks later identifying Jacob Mamolou, 49, as the account holder and subscriber assigned the IP address in question and was assigned that IP address from 1/07/2023 through 12/04/2024. Additionally, Verizon provided the following service address: Azalea Lane in Bristol Twp.

The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office approved a search warrant on January 9. The warrant was approved by District Judge Terrence Hughes, Sr. on January 21. It was executed the following morning at 6:05 a.m. by the Pennsylvania State Police Computer Crime Unit.

During the search warrant execution, the residence’s only occupant, Mamolou was interviewed. He was notified that he was not under arrest, not required to speak with them and free to leave. Mamolou was read his Miranda rights and warnings. Mamolou indicated that he wanted to learn more about the search warrant, according to the probable cause.

Mamolou said that he had lived at the property for about 7 years and that nobody else had lived in the house with him. Mamolou stated that the house has Wi-Fi. Mamolou stated that the Wi-Fi network was password protected and he does not share it with any of his neighbors. I asked Mamolou if he ever heard of the computer software application used to conduct the investigation and he replied yes. The computer software application name is known to law enforcement and is not named in this affidavit, investigators said.

At the conclusion of the search warrant, numerous electronic devices were seized and entered into evidence. The electronic devices were later transported to the Pennsylvania State Police Southeast Computer Crime Lab. A forensic examination of electronic devices seized from the Azalea Lane address was conducted. During examination of the 45 electronic devices, more than 12,000 media files of both pictures and videos were located that depicted apparent child pornography across the devices, the criminal complaint alleges.
