"When Brian Susbielles, 35, disembarked in Fort Lauderdale on Sunday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers conducted a border search of his iPhone and MacBook and found illicit images and videos of children engaged in sexual acts along with sexual online conversations regarding the pictures and videos, according to a criminal affidavit. Susbielles had been sailing on Holland America Line's Volendam for 30 days, leaving from New York."
"Agents said photos on Susbielles' electronics showed boys and girls as young as eight nude and being sexually abused. Susbielles told federal agents he receives images and videos from a Russian website and saves them to his iCloud, according to the affidavit. When questioned why he saved the images, Susbielles said, "Because ever since I was a teenager, I have had this personal demon with me." He added that he has never sexually abused a child."
