Police have charged a Manheim man who they say possessed more than 13,000 videos and photos depicting the sexual abuse of children.
Brandon Eakman, 24, of 1636 Mockingbird Lane, was charged with 302 counts of possessing child pornography, according to a news release issued Wednesday by the Lancaster County district attorney's office.
The charges were filed by Penn Township police Sgt. George Pappas.
Eakman was arrested Wednesday and arraigned by District Judge Thomas Fee. He was committed to Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $200,000 bail.
Fee said that Eakman is to have no contact with children and is not permitted to use any type of computer system, including gaming systems, according to court documents.
"We're talking about an astronomical amount of material," District Attorney Craig Stedman said Wednesday night regarding the pornography. "This is shocking even to our office, and, believe me, we see all kinds of things."
Stedman said the material Eakman is alleged to have possessed had been downloaded onto a computer. He said there was no evidence to suggest that Eakman participated in the creation of any of the photos or videos.
"There is nothing to indicate at this time that he had inappropriate contact with any children," Stedman said. He said the children in the photos and videos were of varying ages.
Stedman said he didn't know what led police to investigate Eakman or how long the investigation took to complete.
Pappas was not immediately available for comment Wednesday night.
Investigators said Eakman could face a maximum penalty of 2,114 years in jail and $4.5 million in fines if convicted.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. Jan. 27.
