Notable Quotes 2
Based on my training and experience in investigating individuals who engage in sex trafficking of minors, and who sexually exploit minors, such individuals often maintain photographs of their victims, and/or other erotic images of minors, at their residences.
Even when such files have been deleted, they can often be recovered, depending on how the hard drive has subsequently been used, months or years later with forensics tools.
