A Minneapolis day care employee is criminally charged after a tip led investigators to find child sexual abuse material on his phone — including images of children he worked with.
According to a criminal complaint, the search warrant stemmed from a tip last year that came into the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about a cellphone containing hundreds of files of child sexual abuse material. A subpoena issued last June revealed that Allen was the authorized user on the phone’s number.
A BCA agent reviewing the cyber tip in March found several files, including videos of underage girls performing sexual acts. Several other tips were connected to Allen’s email and home address.
A search warrant of Allen’s apartment on Friday turned up the cellphone, which contained images and video of child sexual abuse. Allen told the agent the images “were a result of viruses,” the complaint states.
Allen also admitted to taking pictures of girls in the bathroom of the church day care where he worked and provided the names of the victims.
When asked the ages of the children pictured, he “paused and eventually said ages 10 to 15”; however, investigators estimate the victims to be as young as 4 to 6 years old, charging documents state.
So we found the photos
Those were viruses!
OK then what about these?
