Defendant Allegedly Used Internet to Have Minors Engage in Sexually Explicit Conduct

PHILADELPHIA - United States Attorney David Metcalf announced that Mark Wills, aka "Lorenzo Guerra," "Alex Harrison," "kevthompson2009," "18kevinmcbride," and "leonardobrickma," 61, of Hulmeville, Pennsylvania, was charged by indictment with three counts of use and attempted use of an interstate commerce facility to entice a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct; three counts of manufacture and attempted manufacturer of child pornography; four counts of distribution, attempted distribution, and willfully causing the distribution of child pornography; one count of possession of child pornography; two counts of cyberstalking of a minor; and one count of interstate threats.

Wills has been detained in federal custody since August 12, following his arrest on a criminal complaint and warrant.

The indictment alleges that, from about June 2024 to January 2025, the defendant used the internet to knowingly persuade, induce, entice and coerce Minor #1, Minor #2, and Minor #3, all under the age of 18, to engage in, and send him images of, sexually explicit conduct.

The indictment further alleges that Wills knowingly used the internet to distribute the visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct, and that he possessed visual depictions of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. At least one minor depicted was prepubescent and under the age of 12.

Additionally, the indictment alleges that the defendant, with the intent to injure, harass, and intimidate, sent electronic communications to Minor #1 and Minor #3, that caused, attempted to cause, and would be reasonably expected to cause substantial emotional distress to Minor #1 and Minor #3.

As alleged, the defendant also transmitted a threat to harm Minor #1 and Minor #1's family if Minor #1 did not continue to produce sexually explicit material of herself and send it to him.

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. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit projectsafechildhood.gov.

If convicted, the defendant faces a maximum possible sentence of life imprisonment.

The case was investigated by the Bucks County District Attorney's Office and the FBI, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations, and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Nelson S.T. Thayer, Jr.

The charges and allegations contained in the indictment are merely accusations. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
