Williamsport Man Sentenced To 108 Months In Prison For Child Exploitation Crime

SCRANTON – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Felix Trepanowski, age 24, a resident of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, was sentenced yesterday to 108 months’ imprisonment by Chief United States District Court Judge Matthew W. Brann, for receipt of child pornography.

According to the Acting United States Attorney John C. Gurganus, on May 21, 2024, FBI agents served a federal search warrant at Trepanowski’s residence in Clinton County, Pennsylvania.  Pursuant to the warrant, agents seized and later analyzed his cell phone and computer. The forensic analysis uncovered approximately 2,420 images of child pornography on Trepanowski’s devices and showed that he received images of child pornography on multiple occasions between 2022 and 2024.        

The investigation was conducted by FBI – Philadelphia Division, Williamsport RAC.  Assistant United States Attorney Tatum Wilson prosecuted 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.
