Bucks County man accused of sex crimes involving multiple children; bail set at $20 million

BRISTOL, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- A Bucks County man is being held on a $20 million bail after being charged with multiple sex crimes involving children, according to police.

Brian Nathaniel Harris, 28, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, is accused of engaging in abusive acts with multiple children he was "entrusted" to spend time with, according to court documents obtained by Action News.

"We have identified three victims - male and female - prepubescent - meaning small children," said First Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Schorn. "But we have reason, very credible reason to fear that there may be more."

Police said Harris touched and/or sexually assaulted the children and took photos and videos of some of the assaults. He is also accused of sharing those photos and videos with various people.

The alleged crimes happened in Bucks County between September 2018 and September 2023.

Prosecutors say a single image came in as a cyber tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

It was reported to local authorities and the investigation began.

Detectives executed a search warrant at his Bristol home on Pond Street on November 21.

Multiple phones and devices were seized, and 500 images and videos were discovered.

The youngest known victim, authorities say, was just 2 years old.

"As far as access to the children that have been identified, he has fostered relationships with their parents and therefore by those relationships accessed those children," said Schorn.

Some of the assaults happened while the victims were asleep, police said.

Investigators are now asking for the public's help in identifying additional potential victims.
