On August 4, 2021, Spencer Lile was arrested on state charges of theft and possession of a controlled substance. A search warrant for the search of Lile’s cellphone related to those offenses was received by the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office. On August 5, 2021, a download of the cellphone was completed, and child pornography was located on the device. Based on the discovery of apparent child pornography on the phone, a federal search warrant to search the phone for child pornography evidence was received on September 27, 2021. A review of Lile’s cellphone revealed 424 files of child pornography which included 302 of video files.

Led by United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
