They did not refer me to anyone else. The tip is made via an electronic form....

I talked to them once. I don't know who called who.

I had gotten some emails about underage porn and although I never clicked the link I started doing the tips on their site and giving them all the header information and such so they could track it.

Whoever I talked to was very helpful and said to me "wow - most people wouldn't bother to go this far to report it" .....I felt like saying - honey, if I knew where they were and had a bat I wouldn't be on the phone with you.

Marry me!


Note: Male Survivor, KickFlip Ent., Interpol and the FBI in no way intend to create a hostile inference or set of inferences that condone, seem to condone or otherwise sanction citizen proactive action on or at any said violator or potential violators of Child pornography creators or distributors within the jurisdictional reach of Interpol, The FBI and/or local & state law enforcement entities. Proposed and seemingly edndorced use of a sporting device in order to super-judicially rectify a criminal wrong is, in this case, positioned rhetorically and as humor. It should be known to all authorities that The FBI and Interpol have no official “sense of humor.”

No arrest today the detectives spoke with the prosecutor who said, go to his work and try to bring him in for questioning....why the prosecutor made this decision I do not know! They went to his work and he of course refused to go with them. He was made to turn over his electronics. He gave them his IPhone and IPad, but said his laptop broke and he didn't have it. The detectives searched his entire workplace. They then went to his grandparents house and searched the entire house...came up empty.
Apparently now they will be indicting him sometime next week and presenting to the grand jury. Why he couldn't be arrested, I have no idea....but we are now back to holding our breath.

There's nothing discouraging here. They do not want to go to the "arrest stage" without arrest-able elements.

The prosecutor's order and level of involvement are likewise encouraging. The laptop will likely emerge as well.

This scumbag knows his days are numbered.

LOL!



Email? On-line accounts?

@Still - What are "arrest able" elements ? I can't imagine they don't have cause to arrest him now...but nonetheless I do not want anything messed up, so I will remain patient.

Perhaps someone who is much more savvy regarding technology can help me with regards to the laptop....If they do not recover the laptop...Can they still retrieve messages from his various email accounts ? When you do not have the actual device, what information can you NEVER get ?

Everything (as in everything) that takes place on the internet today is recorded and traceable. That is, the FBI and properly empowered local police can access the federal database that captures EVERYTHING.

Emails are particularly easy. You don't even need to go through the feds. you can get those directly from the ISP and/or the web-based email company. They have entire crews who respond to warrants.

If he downloaded porn, it is traceable. If he uploaded files to others, it is traceable. what the actual files are may not be identifiable, except for the porn he would have downloaded to his own PC. The FBI is quite adept at this, and some locals have been trained. My local CAC hold those classes for law enforcement.

Yahoo is saying otherwise....

I know that my local muni divorce court got every email the "other side" wanted. If the police have the warrant, they ought to be able to get it.
