HARRISBURG – Attorney General Dave Sunday announced that a Schuylkill County man was convicted at trial of possessing more than 400 files of child sexual abuse material.

A Schuylkill County jury convicted 47-year-old Antony Cuff, of Shenandoah, of 17 counts of possession of child sexual abuse material and one count of criminal use of a communication facility, all felonies. The 17 counts represented hundreds of files.

With the verdict, Cuff’s bail was revoked and he was remanded to prison. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled following an evaluation by the Sex Offender Assessment Board.

“A key to stopping the horrific exploitation of children is to go after the offenders who seek out and possess these materials, and hold them accountable,” Attorney General Sunday said. “This jury recognized these files for what they depicted – abuse and exploitation of children – and returned a just verdict. My office will continue to protect our most vulnerable and relentlessly pursue those who harm them.”

Evidence presented at trial showed that Cuff used a neighbor’s internet connection to access the files.

In February 2025, the Office of Attorney General’s Child Predator Section searched a Shenandoah home because an IP address at the property was used to upload files of child sexual abuse material through Bing. During the investigation, agents learned that Cuff used a neighbor’s internet connection to access the files. Agents also found a doll commonly owned by sex offenders in Cuff’s bedroom.

The case was prosecuted by Deputy Attorney General Kimberly Moraski.
