What we examine
- Devices, accounts and cloud data in matters involving child sexual abuse material (CSAM), grooming, enticement and sextortion
- Chat and messaging histories, including how contact began, how it progressed, and who initiated it
- How files arrived on a device, and whether they were knowingly possessed: downloads, file-sharing, sync, cache and thumbnail artifacts, and timestamps
- Online behavior patterns relevant to offender motivation and risk, drawing on peer-reviewed research
- Platform records and reports, including provider reports and the account data behind them
Questions we help answer
- Do the artifacts show knowing possession, distribution or contact, or are there other explanations?
- Who controlled the device or account at the relevant times?
- Does the communication reflect contact-driven or fantasy-driven behavior?
- What do the digital evidence and the research literature indicate about risk, for sentencing or other proceedings?
- What was missed, or over-read, in the government's or opposing party's analysis?
Handling of contraband material
Material depicting the sexual abuse of children is never copied, transferred or held outside lawful procedures. In federal cases it remains in government custody and is examined at a government facility under 18 U.S.C. § 3509(m). We work within those procedures and any protective orders the court enters.
How it fits your case
We work for prosecution and defense, and in civil matters for plaintiffs and defendants. Findings are reported accurately whichever side they help, in written reports and in testimony at trial and sentencing.
