Edwin Gual was convicted by a jury today of Sexual Abuse of Children - Possession of Child Pornography. In October 2022, detectives executed a search warrant on the defendant's residence after they received a referral from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (N.C.M.E.C.), involving child pornography accessed from an IP address associated with the defendant. Upon analyzing the defendant's computer, detectives found multiple files of child pornography. The defendant remains incarcerated pending sentencing, which was scheduled for July 21st to allow for an evaluation by the Sexual Offenders Assessment Board.
The case was investigated by Berks County Det. Trevor Ritter and was tried by ADA Jason Glessner.
