A Willistown man faces charges of sex trafficking, child pornography, sexual assault, <\/span>conspiracy, <\/span>and related charges, following a search of his home by authorities and are asking any other potential victims to step forward and alert authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lawrence Jamieson, 57, and a Norristown man, John Brown, 25, are alleged to have had a large cache of child pornography, as well as had sexual relations with a 15-year-old. One of the images discovered, authorities said, listed the name of a local girl and local high school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Local police were tipped off to possible child sexual abuse concerns about Jamieson on Aug. 1,\u00a0prompting an immediate investigation.<\/p>\n

Because of information gathered in the\u00a0investigation, the police were able to get\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span>search warrant for Jamieson’s residence. During that search, police said they recovered approximately 1,000 DVDs, thumb drives\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0 <\/span>other\u00a0 <\/span>electronic\u00a0 <\/span>storage\u00a0 <\/span>devices.<\/p>\n

The police said they conducted an initial review of Jamieson’s storage devices. They said they discovered that the devices contained over 50,000\u00a0 <\/span>images\u00a0 <\/span>and\u00a0 <\/span>videos.\u00a0 <\/span>At\u00a0 <\/span>least 5,000 of the images and videos depict naked children, sexually explicit images of children, and adults sexually assaulting children.<\/p>\n

The police also conducted a forensic interview of the juvenile female victim, other interviews and a review of electronic devices. As a result, they say they discovered the full scope of the operations of the defendants.<\/p>\n

Authorities say Jamieson introduced the victim to Brown in 2015. The victim was\u00a0 <\/span>15 years\u00a0 <\/span>old. Jamieson and Brown told the victim that Brown\u00a0 <\/span>was\u00a0 <\/span>a\u00a0 <\/span>17 year\u00a0<\/span>old\u00a0 <\/span>cyber school student. Brown actually was 23 years old at the time. Brown reportedly changed his appearance to\u00a0<\/span>look younger.\u00a0 <\/span>Jamieson\u00a0<\/span>and Brown had allegedly\u00a0<\/span>agreed\u00a0<\/span>on this cover\u00a0<\/span>story\u00a0<\/span>in order to lure the victim into a relationship.<\/p>\n

Brown entered into a sexual relationship with the\u00a0<\/span>victim, authorities said.\u00a0 <\/span>Jamieson\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>Brown then both, reportedly, began engaging in sexual activity with the victim. Authorities said they\u00a0<\/span>took pictures and videos of this sexual activity, stored these electronic records, and exchanged them via text messages and email. This conduct reportedly took place at multiple locations\u00a0<\/span>in\u00a0<\/span>Willistown\u00a0<\/span>and Conshohocken, starting in 2015.<\/p>\n

The defendants both were arrested. The charges against them include sex trafficking in minors, sexual abuse of children for creating and possessing child pornography, <\/span>sexual assault, conspiracy and\u00a0 <\/span>related\u00a0 <\/span>charges.\u00a0 <\/span>Both\u00a0 <\/span>defendants\u00a0<\/span>were committed\u00a0 <\/span>to Chester County Prison\u00a0<\/span>after failing to post bail.<\/p>\n
