GLENSIDE, Pa. - A Montgomery County man has been charged with 100 counts of child pornography after prosecutors said he used a messenger app and social media websites to collect hundreds of explicit images and videos.
Investigators said 47-year-old Harley Strauss was found with more than 300 images and 70 videos of child pornography on his iPhone. More than 200 of the files included children under the age of 13, prosecutors said.
Delaware County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force alerted county detectives of 11 images of suspected child pornography on Kik Messenger, Twitter and Facebook, according to District Attorney Kevin R. Steele.

The guy wanted him to go into another room and take pictures of himself, he said.
The Delaware County Internet Crimes Against Children s Task Force initially began investigating Hines earlier this year.
Detective Sgt. Ken Bellis said Hines targeted victims around the world, even using an online translator if the minors didn t speak English. He was persistent. He may go after the child day after day after day.
Hines has been behind bars since May on state charges. But the feds have stiffer penalties.
A judge on Friday ordered him to be held in federal custody until trial.
