Patrick Shaknitz, Distribution of Child Pornography, Pennsylvania 2023
A 29-year-old Bucks County man has been arrested and charged with distributing child pornography over the internet.
Patrick Shaknitz, of Croydon, PA, is accused of distributing images and videos of child pornography to others, including undercover federal agents, over the internet.
According to the Complaint, beginning in November 2019, undercover federal agents exchanged private messages with a user identified as 'intoeverything1991,' who distributed images and videos containing child pornography.
The same user described in explicit detail how he abused other children during chats with the agents.
Subpoenas issued for 'intoeverything1991' revealed an IP address and other identifying information allegedly belonging to Shaknitz.
'As alleged in the Complaint, Shaknitz is a depraved abuser of children who multiplied the impact of that abuse by sharing images of it over the internet,' said U.S. Attorney McSwain.
'These children will have to deal with the impact of this abuse for the rest of their lives. We can never make them fully whole again, but we can bring them some measure of justice by investigating and prosecuting the people responsible for stealing their innocence.'
