Authorities found 201 images of child sexual abuse materials on devices belonging to a 46-year-old Shenandoah man, charging documents show.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office charged Anthony Cuff with felony possession of the images and one count of criminal use of a communications facility.
Cuff, unable to post $100,000 straight cash bail, remains in Schuylkill County Prison following his arraignment before Magisterial District Judge Anthony Kilker in Shenandoah.
A tip reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Cyber Tip Line by Microsoft in October 2024, and eventually forwarded to the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, led to the arrest.
The file contained an image of a naked underage female, documents show. A subpoena served on PenTeleData for subscriber information March 3 disclosed an address of a Shenandoah man, though not the man eventually charged.
Investigators obtained search warrants for electronic devices and other information relative to the case. Agents from the attorney general’s office appeared at an Oak Street home and spoke with a man who said Cuff has access to the internet. A search of the devices at the house agents visited showed no signs of the child sexual abuse materials, authorities said.
Agents followed up by visiting Cuff’s home where he confirmed he has access to the internet. A search of devices found one connected to the WiFi at the Oak Street address.
In addition to finding at least 201 images on devices at Cuff’s home, authorities said they also discovered a child sex doll in an upstairs bedroom.
A preliminary hearing is set for April 24 at 10 a.m. in Kilker’s office.
