U.S. Attorney Patrick L. Meehan said it was the “most horrific case” of child exploitation he had seen. Along with the million photographs, Worman’s computers contained “thousands” of videos that Worman produced of himself committing sexual acts on the children, Meehan said.
“The level of depravity in this case is so destructive to those children who have been victimized,” Delaware County District Attorney G. Michael Green said.
Meehan said authorities had been able to identify 12 victims. He said he was not sure they would be able to identify all the children Worman allegedly victimized.
The victims “lived lives of horror for years,” Meehan said.
Between 1997 and 2006, Worman sexually abused eight children, including five he forced to engage in sex, police said. He videotaped the assaults and downloaded the images onto his computer.
Between 2003 and 2006, Worman installed a video camera in his bathroom wall and taped four children as they used the toilet, undressed and showered. Jackson knew about the camera and aided Worman in videotaping the children, authorities said. It was not specified at what address the bathroom was located.
