Charges stemmed from investigation into child pornography
An investigation into alleged possession of child pornography on Friday led to multiple charges against a 51-year-old Coatesville resident, including indecent assault and corruption of a minor.
Police said in addition to child pornography, investigators found a video of a 13-year-old girl naked in her bathroom that was taken without her knowledge by Angel Gonzalez-Garrido, also known as Juan Serbellon. Police said Gonzalez-Garrido, a friend of the girl’s family, had taken care of the girl when her parents were not home.
Charges against him also include endangering the welfare of a child and invasion of privacy. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, according to court records.
