A 60-year-old man created several fake online identities pretending to be a teenage boy so he could lure underage girls into sending him sexually inappropriate videos, which he then shared on other social media platforms.

Mark William Wills, of Hulmeville, is charged with manufacturing and disseminating child sexual abuse material, possession of child pornography, unlawful contact with a minor, dissemination of sexually explicit materials to minors, interception of oral communications, criminal use of a communication facility, and invasion of privacy.

Wills was taken into custody on Wednesday, Feb. 12, by the U.S. Marshals Service in Clarksburg, West Virginia. He is awaiting extradition and being held without bond.

This investigation by Bucks County Detectives and the Warrington Township Police Department led to the discovery of at least four victims in the United States and Canada, but recovered evidence indicating there are likely several more victims.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Bucks County Detectives at 215-348-6354.

“We have seen at alarming rates individuals like this preying upon our children online, and it’s thanks to the men and women behind me and their counterparts that we are able to apprehend and prosecute individuals like this,” District Attorney Jennifer Schorn said at a news conference on Tuesday.

Bucks County Detectives initiated the investigation in December after receiving two CyberTips from the National Center for Missing & Exploited children (NCMEC).

The first CyberTip indicated that a user on the messaging application Kik was sharing multiple files containing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) between Nov. 10, 2024, and Nov. 18, 2024. The investigation found that the user shared six unique video files containing child sexual abuse material. The second CyberTip reported that a Snapchat user shared obscene files on Aug. 4.

The Kik social media platform provided information that included the user’s email and username. Through their investigation, Bucks County detectives were able to connect the user to an IP address assigned to a home at 310 Main Street, Hulmeville. Records indicate that Mark Wills lives there.

The investigation also found that the Kik user sent messages through the app, making obscene comments about the girls in the video and what he can have them do. The user’s account included several selfie-style images of a shirtless adult man with salt-and-pepper hair. The selfie image was visibly consistent with the driver’s license image of Mark Wills.

On Jan. 24, police executed a search warrant at Wills home in Hulmeville, seizing numerous electronic devices, including four cellphones, a computer and three USB drives.

Detectives also seized handwritten documents that included a list of online accounts and identities of male subjects with their dates of birth, email addresses, passwords and in some instances, the date and time they were created.

The handwritten documents also contained instructions on how to delete Google and Snapchat accounts, as well as applications such as Kik, TikTok, Snapchat, Quora, Calculator Vault and A-Z screen recorder.

The documents also included the names or usernames of several online accounts which indicated the users were females under the age of 18. The documents provided notes on any past interaction Wills had with the underage females.

A forensic extraction of the seized electronics linked Wills to the online identities listed in the handwritten documents.

Additionally, the forensic extraction led to the discovery of several hundred screen recordings, which contained hours of videos showing Wills interacting online with several apparent underage females. The first video was created on June 16, 2024, and the most recent videos were in January.

In these videos, Wills would engage in chat and video conversations with the underage females and direct them to undress and perform sex acts.

On Feb. 4, detectives were able to verify the identity of one of the females depicted in the screen recordings and confirmed she was only 13 years old. In the video, which also captured audio, the girl was naked and was seen performing a sex act.

Since the filing of an arrest warrant last week, other underage females captured in the screen recordings have been identified, but there are several others yet to be identified. Law enforcement anticipates filing additional charges/counts as the identities of these children become known.

This case was investigated by Detectives with the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office and the Warrington Township Police Department, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force, the Bucks County Sheriff’s Office, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, the Bensalem Township Police Department, the Middletown Township Police Department, the Lower Southampton Township Police Department, the Northampton Township Police Department, the Hulmeville Borough Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and law enforcement in West Virginia.

This case is assigned for prosecution to Chief Deputy District Attorney Kristin M. McElroy.
