Homeland Security Investigations along with the Southern Oregon Child Exploitation Team served a federal search warrant Wednesday morning in Medford.
Investigators served the warrant after Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) was purchased from a “Darknet” CSAM website. On scene, investigators interviewed potential witnesses and involved parties. Investigators are working to identify the suspect and refer criminal charges to the United States Attorney’s Office.
Federal, State, and local law enforcement served the warrant at a residence in the 3000 block of Marilee Street in Medford. German investigators identified the potential Medford area suspect. During the warrant, investigators seized digital devices which will be forensically examined by Southern Oregon High Tech Crimes Task Force for further evidence of child exploitation.
Investigators continue to examine seized devices and interview witnesses as the investigation moves forward. No further details will be released at this time.
