SOUTH RENOVO — A South Renovo man told police he wanted to “be honest” with troopers from Pennsylvania State Police Lamar Barracks after an investigation revealed he’d downloaded and emailed himself child pornography.

During the interview, conducted Feb. 5, Sebastian Lee Bloom, 42, of South Renovo, told police he had been viewing child pornography for the past 15-16 years and had even created AI images of child pornography, including of a child under 10 he knew.

Following an investigation, Cpl. Justin Rosboschil charged Bloom with the following: seven counts of sexual abuse of children-disseminating photo/film of child sex acts, a second degree felony; seven counts of sexual abuse of children-child sexual abuse material, a second degree felony; and seven counts of criminal use of a communication facility, a third degree felony.

The following information was filed in an affidavit of probable cause by Cpl. Rosboshil through District Judge Frank Mills’ office:

On Dec. 15, 2025, The Northeast Computer Crime Unit received two Cybertipline reports from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for an investigation.

The Cybertipline reports were submitted by Yahoo and Google and related to an individual possessing/uploading seven digital files of child porn through their service.

According to the affidavit, two email addresses — synsofall@gmail.com and sebastian.bloom@yahoo.com — along with an IP address lead police to Bloom’s home in South Renovo Borough.

It was noted in the affidavit that of the seven files downloaded of child porn, four were duplicated. The three files depicted partially nude juvenile females between the ages of 10 and 12 involved in inappropriate acts, including one with an adult male.

The affidavit states that surveillance was conducted at a suspected residence along Pennsylvania Avenue on Jan. 30. A vehicle was parked at the home and, upon running its registration, was found to be owned by Bloom, along with a second vehicle that was seen on Feb. 2.

On Feb. 4, a search warrant was obtained and Cpl. Rosboschil went to the home where he made contact with Bloom.

Rosboschil conducted an interview with Bloom, after advising him that he had a search warrant and he did not have to remain at the property or answer questions.

“He advised that he would answer questions,” the affidavit reads.

Bloom shared his personal information, which included his cell phone number which matched the one linked to the Yahoo and Google accounts, the affidavit said.

“Bloom advised he has had the same phone number for approximately seven years. Bloom also provided his current email address,” the affidavit said. “Which also matched one of the suspect email addresses.”

Bloom further told police the Wifi at the home was connected through Comcast and another individual pays the bill. He added it was password protected and he and his family did not share it with others unless they visited their home.

He told police of another suspected email address, which he was locked out of “3-5 months prior to the interview” due to “a violation of community standards.”

“When asked if he had ever viewed child pornography while on the internet, Bloom replied that he had. He related that he was on a website. He was viewing a video and in the middle of the video, child pornography began playing. He then turned off the video and reported it,” the affidavit says.

Bloom told police he regularly viewed pornography daily and denied saving pornography to any devices. He told police he believes that he has a pornography addiction but denied actively searching for, or viewing, child pornography.

That same day, Cpl. Rosboschil interviewed Bloom’s wife, who reaffirmed who paid for the Wifi at the home along with the password protection.

“(She) related that very few friends and family want to use the Wifi due to using cellular data,” the affidavit said. She further told police she did not use Bloom’s phone and Bloom did not use hers.

She said she did not have knowledge of the possession of or upload of child pornography.

While conducting forensic previews on Bloom’s phone, it was found to contain the synsofall@gmail.com account, which he’d previously told police he was locked out of, the affidavit said.

The last date the email address was used, according to the preview, was Jan. 25. The second suspected email address was also found.

“Multiple files containing child pornography were found on multiple devices owned and used by Bloom,” the affidavit said.

The images found on the devices included images of semi-nude females ages 10 and 11, which were accessed on Feb. 4.

“When Bloom was confronted with these findings he stated, ‘I f….. up,” the affidavit said.

Bloom was taken into custody that day and transported to PSP’s Lamar barracks where he agreed to be interviewed after waiving his Miranda Rights.

Bloom then told police he wanted to be honest and explained how he used a particular service to find child pornography such as “cam kittys” or “hebeheaven.”

“Bloom finds child pornography through these forums that may include website links,” the affidavit said.

Bloom indicated to police the first Cybertip through Yahoo was when he emailed himself images of child pornography.

“Bloom related he began viewing child pornography approximately 15-16 years ago. While viewing child pornography, if he liked a particular file he would email it to himself to save,” the affidavit said.

During Bloom’s interview, he told police, “he would view child pornography approximately once a month.”

“He had last viewed child pornography the night before the interview,” the affidavit said.

Bloom also admitted to police he would AI apps to create child pornography, including images involving a child under 10 he knew.

Bloom was arraigned before District Judge Frank Mills on 21 charges and denied bail. He is currently held at the Clinton County Correctional Facility. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 23 at 8:30 a.m. in front of Mills.
