Delco Man Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Second Child Pornography Conviction

PHILADELPHIA - United States Attorney David Metcalf announced that Jeffrey Worrilow Jr., 44, of Media, Pennsylvania, was sentenced today to 120 months in prison and 10 years of supervised release by United States District Judge Chad F. Kenney for child pornography offenses.

The defendant was also ordered to pay $40,000 in restitution, a $10,000 Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act Assessment, $1,500 Amy, Vicky and Andy Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act Assessment, and $200 special assessment. In addition, Worrilow Jr. is subject to mandatory registration as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act ("SORNA") and Megan's Law.

The defendant was charged by indictment in September 2025 and pleaded guilty this March to two counts of accessing with intent to view child pornography.

As detailed in court filings and statements, the FBI, in an undercover operation, took control of a website on the dark web providing child pornography. Investigators identified Worrilow Jr. as being a member of the site for more than a year and determined that he maintained two different accounts, which he used to access the site 27 times and post at least twice.

On one occasion when the defendant accessed the website, the FBI captured the IP address used, with subscriber information subsequently leading to the defendant's home. In March 2025, a federal search warrant was executed at that residence and several devices were seized. Investigators located evidence of child pornography on two devices, including 648 images and 14 videos of child pornography found in the cache of Worrilow's iPhone and an additional 17 images of child pornography in the phone's browser.

This is the defendant's second such conviction. In 2008, at the age of 26, Worrilow Jr. was convicted in Delaware County for online child pornography offenses. He was sentenced to 11½ to 23 months of imprisonment and allowed to serve the imprisonment over 24 weekends.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
