Detectives allege Lymberis shared images and videos involving young girls, some as young as 10, participated in online chat rooms, and in one instance discussed grooming a 15-year-old.

Prosecutors also claim he used AI to create sexualized images of minors, including one instance involving a photo of a mother and daughter.

"Some of them we know are friends of the family of a family member, and that's how he was able to either take those photos or get a hold of photos to use," Chester County District Attorney Christopher de Barrena-Sarobe said.
