Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn and county detectives are seeking other unidentified alleged victims of a Lower Bucks County man accused of creating child pornography and disseminating child sexual abuse materials in the U.S. and Canada.
Mark William Wills, 61, of Hulmeville, is accused by detectives of using fake online identities in his alleged child sexual abuse material crimes and was nabbed Thursday by Marshals in West Virginia.
Schorn said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon that Wills will be extradited to Bucks County in a matter of days. He is at North Central Regional Jail in Doddridge County, WV.
“He has been charged with the initial victimization (in Hulmeville) and he is looking in excess of 75 years for this singular charge,” Schorn said. “We anticipate more charges that follow.”
“This investigation is so airtight,” Schorn said. “There is no question we will have a successful prosecution.”
He has been charged by Hulmeville Borough detectives with seven felonies, stemming from alleged offenses from Nov. 10, 2024: Knowingly possessing films depicting sexual activity of minors, disseminating films of child sex acts, possession of child pornography, contact with a minor for sexual abuse, disseminating explicit sexual material of a minor, intercepting communications of a minor, and criminal use of a communications device, according to a criminal docket. Wills is also charged with misdemeanor invasion of privacy without consent.
Schorn said an investigation by Bucks County detectives and the Warrington Township Police Department led to the discovery of at least three victims from out of state and one in Canada.
Investigators recovered evidence indicating there are likely several more victims.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Bucks County Detectives at 215-348-6354.
Wills would allegedly pose as a 14-year-old boy online and the victims thought they were having a peer-to-peer relationship, but it was with a “serial predator,” Schorn said.
Wills allegedly used the following usernames:
“He has successfully evaded police before in the 1990s. It’s amazing that he was apprehended in a swift manner,” Schorn said.
She emphasized the victims have done nothing wrong.
“Children feel complicit in these acts, and we want to reassure them they have done nothing wrong,” Schorn said. “It’s important to share information with an entrusted adult.”
Schorn said anyone who had contact with Wills online should come forward and provide information to investigators.

Wills was apprehended on his 61st birthday on Thursday at Meadowbrook Mall in Bridgeport, West Virginia by U.S. Marshals. He was arrested without incident on charges of manufacturing and disseminating CSAM.
He was carrying a backpack with $50,000 cash and applications for Section 8 Housing. Investigators were fortunate enough to locate a vehicle he was driving prior to apprehension.
“He was looking to start a new life in West Virginia,” said U.S. Marshals Eastern District of Pennsylvania Supervisory Deputy Robert Clark at the conference. “He was definitely on the run and fled the area.”
Schorn said there was no immediate concern for anyone living in the Hulmeville home where Wills resided, as he was living with someone else.
Authorities connected Wills to another alleged criminal enterprise unrelated to preying upon children, Schorn said, in which other individuals responsible were already prosecuted.
According to the Bucks County Courier Times, authorities found handwritten notes of names of online accounts of underage victims, as well as aliases Wills allegedly used to contact them. Once he made contact with a girl, he then asked for nude images, according to an affidavit.
The handwritten documents also contained instructions on how to delete Google and Snapchat accounts, as well as applications such as Kik, TikTok, Snapchat, Quora, Calculator Vault and A-Z screen recorder, investigators said.
Authorities also accuse Wills of video recording hours of interactions with several alleged underage girls online between June 2024 and January 2025.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified the Bucks County DA of two cypertips involving an individual sharing multiple files of child sexual abuse material via Kik and Snapchat, authorities said.
The first CyberTip indicated that a user on the messaging application Kik was sharing multiple files containing CSAM between Nov. 10, 2024, and Nov. 18, 2024. The investigation found that the user shared six unique video files containing CSAM, police said.
The second CyberTip reported that a Snapchat user shared obscene files on Aug. 4, 2024.
Via search warrants, investigators traced the user accounts and online activities to and IP address registered to Wills, of the 300 block of Main Street in Hulmeville, per the report.
The videos allegedly show Wills talking to the minors, and then directing them what body part to show or what to do in the films. Authorities said the films show underage children removing clothing and exposing body parts, as well as Wills touching himself during the calls.
On Jan. 24, police executed a search warrant at Wills home in Hulmeville, seizing numerous electronic devices, including four cellphones, a computer and three USB drives, authorities said.
Wills has an extensive criminal history in Bucks County, arrested or convicted numerous times in the 1990s for receiving stolen property and removing or using false identification numbers on vehicles, per court records.
Wills spent time in jail in 1990 for aggravated assault in Philadelphia County, as well as pleading guilty to misdemeanor patronizing prostitutes in 2012, per court records.
In 1993, Wills was featured in Time Magazine as “one of Philadelphia’s biggest car thieves,” with the article stating he had been stealing cars since age 14.
