A Pennsylvania realtor and former Chestnut Hill College tennis coach has been arrested and charged with 150 felony counts of possessing child sexual abuse material. The investigation began with a cybertip that traced the illicit videos to Stroble's personal Dropbox account, leading police to execute a search warrant at his home and seize multiple electronic devices.

Why it matters

This case highlights the ongoing efforts to combat the distribution and possession of child exploitation material, which remains a persistent issue despite increased law enforcement scrutiny. It also raises concerns about individuals in positions of trust, such as coaches and teachers, potentially abusing that trust to access and exploit vulnerable children.

The details

Authorities say the investigation began with a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children on January 12, 2026, which identified a Dropbox account that had been used to upload videos depicting the sexual abuse of children. Search warrants executed on Stroble's home uncovered a laptop that prosecutors allege he used to upload the material to his Dropbox account. Three videos recovered from his devices form the basis of the 150 possession counts he now faces, including footage of prepubescent and pubescent girls being sexually abused by adult men.

  • On January 12, 2026, a cybertip was filed that set off the investigation.
  • On April 14, 2026, Stroble was taken into custody and arraigned.
  • On April 15, 2026, Stroble posted bail and was released pending a preliminary hearing on April 28, 2026.
