Bucks County records show the charges were filed on Nov. 24. The U.S. Marshals did not disclose why Wills was in West Virginia.

IP tracked to Hulmeville residence

Wills was taken into custody at the Meadowbrook Mall in Bridgeport, West Virginia around 8 p.m. He is being held without bond at the North Central Regional jail in Doddridge County awaiting extradition to Bucks County.

According to an affidavit of probable cause obtained by the Bucks County Courier Times the investigation began with two tips to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about someone sharing files of images showing sexually abused children.

The IP of the account sharing the images was traced to Wills' Hulmeville home.

The DA's office told the Courier Times District Attorney Jennifer Shorn will hold a press briefing to find other children victimized by Wills.
