NOT CHARGED | SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF A MINOR (Child Pornography) State vs. Mr. L. (DMC No. 9999) (Chandler Police Department): Police showed up at Mr. L.’s house and asked to search his computer due to allegations of alleged Child Pornography. When he refused, they told him that they would get a search warrant and come back and lock down his house. He then agreed and his computer was taken and searched. Police allegedly had found numerous images of simulated and possibly real child pornography on his computer. Due to the issues of a potentially illegal search under the case of Bumper vs. North Carolina, we were able to convince the detectives to not file charges. Mr. L. was facing a potential minimum of over 100 years in prison if he were convicted.
