Montgomery County Township Supervisor Charged Child Porn Maryland

Nicholas A. Fountain, a 38-year-old vice-chair of the Skippack Township Board of Supervisors in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, was arrested on charges of sexual solicitation of a minor and solicitation of child pornography stemming from an investigation in Harford County, Maryland. Authorities allege Fountain engaged in sexually explicit conversations and exchanged explicit images with an undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old boy. Fountain has been held without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility awaiting extradition to Maryland. He has served on the board since 2013 and also owns two childcare centers, Magnolia Enrichment Center in Skippack and Magnolia Children's Academy in Gilbertsville, which have since distanced themselves from him. The Skippack Township Board of Supervisors expressed shock and called the charges deeply disturbing, urging Fountain to resign if the allegations are true. Fountain's arrest follows a proactive investigation by the Harford County Sheriff's Office triggered by his online activity under the username "pro_busy_87," which included posts seeking relationships between older men and younger boys.
