The charges follow an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office and the Limerick Township Police Department.
Christopher Steele, aka Mike Dozor was indicted March 6 on charges of use of interstate commerce facility to entice a minor to engage in sexual conduct, interstate travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and receipt of child pornography.
