Officers conducted a warranted search of the Bensalem Boulevard home of Anthony Troupe, of Bensalem, on suspicions of possessing and disseminating child pornography on March 16, Bensalem police said.
Troupe was arrested and sent to the Bucks County Correctional Facility on an initial bail amount of 10% of $75,000, police said.
Following his arrest, detectives identified two children -- whose identities are being withheld -- who were reportedly sexually assaulted by Troupe.
Troupe was a special education assistant at Hallowell Elementary School in Horsham in February 2020 and again in September 2020, 6abc reports.
Once the district learned of his arrest, he was let go, police said.
Authorities affirm that the two children -- including one as young as three-years-old -- are not affiliated with his position at the school, according to police and 6abc.
Troupe was charged with involuntary sexual intercourse with a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors, and related offenses.
Troupe was arraigned on those charges and sits in the Bucks County Correctional Facility in lieu of 10% of a new $1 million bail amount.
Based on the nature of the investigation, police believe there may be more potential victims of Troupe.
Anyone who has information relating to the investigation is encouraged to contact Bensalem police at (215)-633-3719.
