The hard work and success of the 97th Judicial District Office related to Texas Criminal Code 43,26; child pornography creates stricter punishment ranges for offenders who possess child pornography. It allows for first-time offenders to be prosecuted based on the number of images they may be found in possession of. This is the first update in more than 30 years to the Texas Criminal Code covering this law.
I am currently an active duty Detective for a large Law Enforcement agency in the North Texas Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex where I have been employed for 26 years. For the past 13 years, I have received specialized training and experience working both proactive and reactive criminal investigations associated with the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force with the goal to combat the child exploitation epidemic in the United States and abroad.
I have presented case studies and law enforcement training both nationally and internationally on ICAC related topics.I have prepared hundreds of formal reports suitable for legal presentation, which states results, interpretations and professional opinions/conclusions while assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigation, The United States Postal Service, the Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, the United States Secret Service and local Law Enforcement agencies in the investigation of cases involving child exploitation, CyberTips, and child pornography investigations. I am also a certified forensic examiner for computers and cell phones.
