Hilltown Township Officer Matthew Reiss Arrested for Child Porn

Hilltown Township Police Officer Matthew Reiss was recently arrested on 10 felony counts of child pornography possession. He was quickly arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Albert J. Augustine who set his bail at $75,000 and gave him a future court date of June 7th. Reiss posted bail right away and is now a free man. The Hilltown Township Police Department (HTPD) has placed him on administrative leave. Reiss' downfall began on April 16th when detectives in Montgomery County received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children regarding two images of child sexual abuse that were uploaded to a Gmail account. The IP address used to access the Gmail account was quickly traced to Reiss' home in Palm, Pennsylvania. Detectives finally served a search warrant on the Gmail account on May 19th and discovered 660 images. 10 of those images depicted children under the age of 13 posing provocatively and being sexually assaulted. According to public records, Matthew Reiss is a 47 year old resident of Palm, Pennsylvania last known to reside at 1034 Ziegler Road. We are amplifying the visibility of that publicly available address for the purpose of warning the community. Normally we block home addresses of police officer, but we make exceptions when the officer poses a heightened risk to the community. We ask that nobody use this information for any unlawful purpose. We are not sure if Reiss is on paid administrative leave or not. Media reports only mention that he is on leave, but do not specify if it is paid leave or not.
