PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A Center City man has been charged with more than 200 felonies for allegedly possessing dozens of images and videos of child sexual abuse material.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said John Stachecki, 55, was part of a group that traded child sex abuse material. According to most authorities, that material showed graphic images of both toddlers and babies.

Prosecutors said they worked with Homeland Security investigators and uncovered the trove of images inside Stachecki’s home at 19th and Chestnut streets last week.

He is being held on $1 million bail.
