HUNTINGDON VALLEY, PA — A New Jersey man downloaded and shared child pornography videos from his mother's home in Huntingdon Valley, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced.

Eric D. MacAfee, 41, of Seaside Heights, New Jersey faces felony charges of dissemination of child pornography, sexual abuse of children, and related counts, the DA said. An investigation began on July 5 when Abington Township detectives used electronic surveillance to uncover a computer using a file sharing network specifically designed to anonymously share files, according to authorities.

When undercover detectives connected to the computer in question, they received five video files showing underaged children engaged in sexual acts, police said. An investigation ultimately traced the computer to MacAfee's mother's home in Huntingdon Valley, the DA said.

When police arrived, MacAfeewas not there. He was arrested in Seaside Heights on Oct. 4 and his computer was seized. Bail was set at $75,000 and he was remanded to Montgomery County Correctional Facility after failing to post.

A preliminary hearing is set for Oct. 13.
