Tyler Osborne, an inmate at Berks County Jail, was charged with multiple sex crimes after using a cellmate's tablet to engage in graphic video chats with an 11-year-old girl. He repeatedly coerced the minor into stripping and performing sexual acts despite previously being barred from unsupervised contact with minors. The misconduct was reported to prison officials by Osborne's bunkmate, leading to the discovery of two recorded sessions. Prosecutors stress their vigilance against such behaviors among inmates to uphold safety standards.
Our criminal investigation determined that the contact was...I'll describe it as disgusting. This individual was asking the child to perform sexual acts on the tablet communication and the child committed those acts.
Investigators uncovered two of the sick recorded chats after the predator's bunkmate notified prison officials in April that Osborne was using his tablet to contact the young girl.
We want to make sure that the inmates know we're looking over their shoulder. So if they're engaging in criminal or inappropriate behaviors while utilizing their tablets.
