Bucks County authorities have charged 46-year-old Christopher L. O’Neill, of Warminster, with multiple felonies, including possessing and distributing child pornography, some of which was created using artificial intelligence. He also faces charges related to a recent burglary where he stole a pair of girl’s underwear.
O’Neill was formally charged on Tuesday with sharing images and videos of child sexual abuse, possessing child pornography, and criminal use of communication facility.
The charges stem from an investigation initiated on June 10, 2025, by the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, following several CyberTips received from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). The investigation found that between September 26, 2024, and May 7, 2025, O’Neill saved, shared, and/or uploaded a substantial quantity of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). This included 694 photos and videos found in Google Photos, as well as two images from PicsArt. Investigators confirmed that some of this content was AI-generated. Detectives confirmed the illicit nature of these files after review.
In a separate incident on June 28, 2025, O’Neill is accused of illegally entering a home in Warminster and stealing various items, including a pair of girl’s underwear. As a result, he also faces charges of burglary, criminal trespassing, theft, and receiving stolen property.
O’Neill was arraigned on the child exploitation charges on Tuesday and remanded to Bucks County Correctional Facility under $500,000 bail, 10 percent. He was given an additional $2 million bail after his arraignment on the burglary charges on Thursday.
