The Maryland State Computer Crimes Unit, in July, started an investigation into David for the possession of online child pornography. After a three-month investigation, state police, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations and Prince George’s County Police Department, executed a search warrant at David’s residence.
An initial review of the material on David’s electronic devices, police say investigators found he was in possession of multiple child pornography files, and he was arrested on the scene.
