Commonwealth v. Taylor

Case Summary

The defendant was charged in the Eastern District of Virginia with possession and receipt of child sexual abuse material after a search warrant was executed on his home. Federal agents seized multiple devices containing alleged CSAM.

Outcome

All charges dismissed after we successfully challenged the forensic analysis and proved the images were not knowingly downloaded by the client (malware + lack of intent).

How We Defended This Case

• Technical forensic examination revealed malware and unauthorized remote access
• Challenged “knowing possession” under both Virginia and federal law
• Suppressed evidence based on overbroad warrant
