Boiling Springs Man Indicted For Child Exploitation Offenses

HARRISBURG - The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Levi Stoner, age 20, of Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania, was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury on child pornography and online enticement charges.

According to United States Attorney Brian D. Miller, the indictment alleges that between September 26, 2025, and December 5, 2025, Stoner enticed a minor child to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing videos of that conduct. It is also alleged that Stoner received images over the internet depicting child pornography of the minor child.

The Federal Bureau of Investigations investigated the case. Assistant United States Attorney Christian Haugsby is prosecuting the case.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
