Child Sex Abuse Materials Charges for Bucks County Catholic School Teacher, Coach

A longtime Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Catholic school teacher and youth sports coach faces charges involving possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material after a tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) resulted in the launching of an investigation. Officials took Richard Allen Adamsky, 65, of Warminster, into custody after determining there was sufficient evidence to justify an arrest and charges.

NCMEC Tip Leads to Investigation and Eventual Charges in Child Sex Abuse Materials Case

The following breakdown provides a general timeline of the case leading up to Adamsky’s arrest and charges being filed:

• Officials began investigating the case after NCMEC received a tip indicating someone had uploaded a picture of an apparently prepubescent girl posing nude with her genitals exposed. The Bucks County Internet Crimes Against Children’s Task Force and the FBI handled the investigation.
• Investigators tracked the IP address associated with the upload, which led them to Adamsky’s address in Warminster.
• Adamsky was present when law enforcement personnel from local and federal agencies executed a search warrant of his home.
• According to officials, during questioning, Adamsky admitted that over a period of four to five years, he had searched for and saved hundreds of images depicting CSAM to his computer.

Adamsky’s role as a Catholic school teacher and youth sports coach is not an insignificant factor in this case. According to reports, the ages of the children depicted in the CSAM content Adamsky allegedly downloaded matched up with the ages of the children he taught and coached.

Adamsky was ultimately charged with felony counts of possession of child sexual abuse material, as well as criminal use of a communication facility. Bail was set at $500,000.

The Importance of a Legal Defense in a PA Child Sex Crimes Case

The penalties Adamsky may face if he’s convicted of the charges can be substantial. Along with prison time, a conviction could result in a requirement to register as a sex offender, potentially affecting everything from Adamsky’s personal to professional life.
