A city man was taken into custody following a yearlong investigation into a cybertip that alleged he kept child sexual abuse material on his Dropbox account.

William Scott Weight Jr., 33, was arraigned Tuesday by Magisterial District Judge Matthew Dunio on 21 felony counts of child sexual abuse material and a single felony count of criminal use of a communication facility. He was remanded to the Blair County Prison in lieu of $100,000 bail.

The investigation began on Feb. 3, 2025, when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a complaint from Dropbox reporting a suspected incident of child exploitation it believed to have originated within Pennsylvania. Dropbox reported two files of child sexual abuse material being uploaded to its platform by a user called “Will Weight” on Feb. 2, 2025, according to the affidavit of probable cause.

The tip was ultimately assigned to a special agent with the state Office of the Attorney General’s Child Predator Section Central Regional Office for followup. On July 24, 2025, the agent confirmed the presence of two files depicting children under the age of 10 engaged in prohibited sexual acts, the police report states.

Through further investigation, the agent found that the IP address associated with the Dropbox account was registered to Weight, with a physical address along the 2000 block of Second Avenue. A later analysis of PennDOT records confirmed Weight resided at the address, the report states.

A search warrant for the Dropbox account was executed Sept. 15, 2025, revealing about 21 files that the agent determined to depict child sexual exploitation. Of those 21, the agent found at least 19 showed indecent contact with a child under the age of 10, the report states.

The agent obtained a search warrant for Weight’s residence and executed it on Tuesday. In an interview, a woman located within the house told officers that Weight had just left for work. She then gave officers Weight’s cellphone number and email address, both of which matched those associated with the Dropbox account, the report states.

Officers subsequently located Weight at his workplace for an interview. Weight confirmed his physical address, email address and cellphone number for officers and admitted that his Dropbox account contained several video files of pornographic material. Weight allegedly told officers that he was aware of the child sexual abuse material and that he used the files for his own sexual gratification, according to the affidavit.

Weight is scheduled for a preliminary hearing April 29 in front of Magisterial District Judge Benjamin F. Jones.
