Titles of the pornographic video files found on McClain's digital devices included phrases such as "pedo lolita preteen," "14yo Russian Prostitute" and "molested rape," among more graphic sexual terms, according to an affidavit filed with the complaint."
"The videos, some of which are more than an hour long, show minors engaged in oral, digital, vaginal and anal sex, and include at least one victim who appears to have intellectual disabilities. McClain, 46, was arrested following the raid and initially pleaded not guilty to one count of possession of child pornography."
"On Wednesday, he changed his plea to guilty and admitted to downloading child sexual abuse material depicting real teenagers and prepubescent children engaged in sexually explicit conduct. He faces up to 20 years in federal prison and is scheduled to be sentenced June 24, prosecutors said. Once released, he will be required to register as a sex offender."
