In March of 2018, investigators with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, used investigative techniques including CRC Technology to identify a computer in the Phoenix metropolitan area that was sharing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) through a peer-to-peer file network.

The digital evidence led investigators to Porter’s residence in Phoenix, where they executed a search warrant on May 8, 2018. Inside the home, investigators located Porter’s computer, which was actively running peer-to-peer file sharing software and in the process of downloading a file labeled as containing images of 14-year-old girls.

A forensic examination of the computer uncovered numerous CSAM files including children as young as 10 years old.

CRC Technology provides the most comprehensive view of where child predators around the world are downloading and sharing explicit content online.

Following his guilty plea to two felony counts, Maricopa Superior Court Judge Ronee Korbin-Steiner sentenced Porter to 13 years in prison. Upon his release, which is expected around May 2031, Porter will be subject to lifetime probation and must register as a sex offender.
