The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said it received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) alleging that a Snapchat user had saved and shared explicit images of children. Detectives identified the account owner as Kyle Binder of Harting Circle, Warminster.
