Busted with 56G kid-porn images

A Philadelphia man who worked as a medical technician at a pediatric center accumulated more than 56,000 images and videos of child porn, according to federal authorities.

Investigators determined that Cameron Carlucci, 27, was trafficking in child porn over the internet for almost four years, according to the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The disturbing collection of images and videos depicted “mostly prepubescent boys, infants and toddlers being sexually abused and exploited,” according to authorities.

During the four-year period that ended with his arrest in 2018, Carlucci worked at Valley Pediatrics in Warminster, Pa., as a medical technician. He did not include a 2011 conviction for possession of obscene materials and other sexual materials on his job application.

“Carlucci's years of taking advantage of our community's most vulnerable victims is reprehensible, but it is intensified by the fact that he had daily contact with children in a job he never should have had in the first place,” said U.S. Attorney William McSwain.

“Child exploitation is a pervasive problem — one that demands an aggressive response. We stand ready with our federal partners to identify and dismantle online forums that perpetuate this abuse.”

Carlucci pleaded guilty to two counts of distribution of child porn and one count of possession of child porn. He faces a possible life sentence in prison.
