"36-year-old Zachary Snoderly was reportedly fairly upfront about what was on his electronic devices, telling CBP agents that he used Telegram to download the illicit material. When asked by agents whether his devices contained "digital contraband," Snoderly reportedly replied, "Probably." It appears that Snoderly was already known to federal agents, perhaps from an earlier arrest that has not been disclosed."
"According to prosecutors, Snoderly was already on a watch list for "secondary inspection and questioning related to possession of child pornography" when he came through customs at SFO. Snoderly was reportedly headed home to Idaho to visit his father, and he was released after agents seized his passport, pending a full review of his electronic devices. Agents said they seized hard drives as well as his cellphone and laptop, and images they found including some taken from what appeared to be public places,"
A 36-year-old American citizen who lived in Thailand for 11 years and taught second grade was arrested at San Francisco International Airport for allegedly possessing over 100 gigabytes of pornographic material featuring minors. Customs and Border Protection agents say he admitted using Telegram to download the material and replied "Probably" when asked if his devices contained digital contraband. Prosecutors say he was on a watch list for secondary inspection related to possession of child pornography. Agents seized hard drives, a cellphone, and a laptop, noting some images appeared to be taken in public places and a classroom. He was released pending device review, later re-arrested after obtaining a new passport, and charged with possession of child sexual abuse material.
