CyberTipline Success Story: In October 2003, the CyberTipline received multiple reports concerning an individual who was allegedly posting illegal content to an ISP group. CyberTipline analysts reviewed the reports and found numerous images of child erotica. Searches on the suspect's e-mail accounts established a possible name and location. Analysts contacted the Douglas County Sheriff's Office in Colorado and in March of 2004, investigators from the Westminster Police Department executed a search warrant on the suspect's home. They found 500 pornographic images of children and over 80,000 images of child erotica on the suspect's computer. Investigators also discovered that suspect had a prior history of crimes against children in both Florida and Texas. On October 1, 2004, the suspect pled guilty to one count of Sexual Exploitation of Children, a Class 4 Felony. He was sentenced to 10 years-to- life requiring that he spend a minimum of 10 years in prison without parole.
