2 Delco Men Hit With Child Porn Charges In Separate Cases

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Two Delaware County men have been charged with child pornography- and abuse-related crimes in two separate cases, authorities said Thursday.

Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer Nicholas Stevenson, 43, of Wallingford, and Daniel Wagaman, 36, of Haverford, were arrested and charged in two separate cases.

The case against Stevenson began following a report from Google to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that an account identified by the username "Nicholas Stevenson" uploaded files containing child pornography.

Delaware County detectives later views the files and confirmed they depicted child pornography, authorities said.

Subsequently, a search warrant was authorized for Stevenson's Wallingford residence.

In December 2020, detectives got a response from Google regarding Stevenson’s account. Located in the account were numerous images of females, edited and altered to appear naked, authorities said.

According to the DA's office, the images may have been taken from the social media pages of the victims, and some pictures depicted children with genitals superimposed onto the picture. As a result, more charges were brought against Stevenson on March 2, for the manufacture of child pornography.
