Serial offender Jonathan Brodecki arrested in Bensalem, Pennsylvania; at least 9 juvenile victims identified

BENSALEM TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) – A 21-year-old Bensalem Township man is in custody after turning himself in to multiple counts of sexual extortion.

The video shown comes from a corresponding report.

Jonathan Brodecki is facing multiple charges of sexually assaulting nine underage victims, according to Bensalem police. His victims range in age from 12 to 15 and live in multiple states.

Bensalem police believe many more victims have not yet been identified.

In January, Bensalem police received information that the Snapchat account “jack_goodric” was sexually extorting a 15-year-old girl. During their investigation, they determined that Brodecki was the creator and user of the account.

Authorities say Brodecki used the account to pose as a middle or high school boy and convinced the 15-year-old girl to send him sexually explicit photos and videos.

When the 15-year-old victim tried to break off contact with Brodecki, he allegedly threatened to post the explicit content about her publicly.

Through further investigation, investigators say they were able to identify additional victims who had interacted with the “jack_goodric” account.

Investigators say that in all cases, Brodecki “added” these girls on Snapchat and posed as a teenager. He then asked the girls to take sexually explicit images and send them to him, which many of the victims did.

Brodecki is also said to have sent sexually explicit images to the victims.

At least one of the victims, a 13-year-old girl, was sexually blackmailed by Brodecki, according to investigators. Brodecki also allegedly threatened to find and rape her and to publicly post explicit images of her.

During a search of Brodecki’s apartment in March 2024, several electronic devices were seized. A forensic examination found that Brodecki had also used a fictitious Instagram account for the same illegal purposes, officials said.

Brodecki was charged with nine counts of sexual abuse of a child, two counts of extortion/distribution of images, nine counts of sexual abuse of a child and possession of child pornography, and 14 counts of unlawful contact with a minor. He also faces multiple counts of distributing obscene and other sexual materials to minors, enticement of minors, terrorist threats, and stalking.

He is being held at the Bucks County Correctional Facility on $5 million bail.

Anyone who remembers having contact with “jack_goodric” or other similar usernames on Snapchat or Instagram is asked to contact Detective Ryan Kolb of the Bensalem Township Police Department at (215)-633-3746.
