A Darby Township man is facing charges Thursday for the sexual assault of a 7-year-old boy. Archie Joseph Kissling, 24, was charged with multiple counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child, aggravated indecent assault of a child, photographing/filming child sex act, child pornography, and several other felony counts.
On Nov. 24, a Darby Township police officer alerted the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) about information he received from concerned citizens who had reported that they found videos and images of the sexual abuse on a Google Photos account that belonged to Kissling.
An investigation was immediately launched and officials discovered more videos and images from Kissling’s account, which documented the sexual abuse in several videos and images.
“The actions of the defendant, Archie Kissling, are abhorrent, unimaginable and downright disgusting, as he not only repeatedly sexually abused an innocent child, but he further exploited this child by videotaping his appalling actions and created child pornography,” said District Attorney Katayoun M. Copeland.
