(Montgomery County, PA) Authorities announced yesterday that a Pennsylvania real estate agent and youth soccer coach was arrested and charged for possessing child sexual abuse material. According to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, forty-eight-year-old Albert Stroble, of Lower Providence Township, is charged with 150 felony counts related to possession of child sexual abuse material, as well as criminal use of a communication facility. Stroble, who sources say was a coach with FC Montco, is also a real estate agent in the Philadelphia area. A LinkedIn profile stated that he previously worked at Chestnut Hill College as the school’s associate athletic director until 2016. A representative for FC Montco confirmed that Stroble resigned from position as a volunteer coach prior to his arrest. The office for the Montgomery County District Attorney revealed that the investigation began January 12th when the Montgomery County detectives received a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children of a Dropbox account suspected of uploading material of children being sexually abused. Prosecutors note that investigators uncovered content in the Dropbox that contained videos of prepubescent and pubescent girls being sexually abused by adult men. After discovering the videos, authorities executed search warrants on Google, Verizon and Dropbox, which linked the accounts to an IP address registered to Stroble’s home in Lower Providence Township. Investigators executed a search warrant of his home and confiscated multiple electronic devices, which included a laptop allegedly used to upload the material. Stroble was arrested and arraigned on Tuesday. His bail was set at $300,000 with conditions that include no unsupervised contact with children. He was released after posting bail on Wednesday. A preliminary hearing for Stroble is scheduled for April 28th.
