Stroble was previously affiliated with FC Montco as a volunteer coach and served as the associate athletic director at Chestnut Hill College until 2016.
Investigation Background
The investigation into Stroble began on January 12, 2023, when the Montgomery County Detective Bureau received a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. This tip indicated that a Dropbox account was suspected of uploading child pornography. Following this lead, detectives executed search warrants on Google, Verizon, and Dropbox, which revealed that the IP address linked to the account was registered to Stroble's residence.
Evidence and Arrest
Upon obtaining a search warrant for Stroble's home, law enforcement officials confiscated multiple electronic devices, including a laptop believed to have been used for uploading the illicit material. The content discovered in the Dropbox account included videos depicting the sexual abuse of prepubescent and pubescent girls by adult men. Stroble was arrested and arraigned on April 14, 2023, with bail set at $300,000, subject to conditions prohibiting unsupervised contact with children. He posted bail the following day and was released.
Professional Background
Stroble has been a real estate agent affiliated with Compass since May 2025 and has previously worked with Keller Williams. His background in athletics includes roles as an assistant director of athletics and assistant coach for the men’s and women’s tennis teams at Chestnut Hill College.
Official Statements & Responses
A representative from FC Montco confirmed that Stroble resigned from his position as a volunteer coach prior to his arrest. The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office has not released further comments regarding the ongoing investigation. A preliminary hearing for Stroble is scheduled for April 28, 2023.
