State v. Chicharro

Citations

  • 2025 Ohio 3073

Syllabus

Child pornography; motion to suppress; search warrant; citizen informant; probable cause; cache files. Denial of motion to suppress upheld. Based on information provided by citizen informant, the detective's affidavit in support of the search warrant afforded the issuing judge a substantial basis for concluding that probable cause existed to search appellant's residence. Appellant's convictions for offenses related to child pornography were supported by sufficient evidence and not against the manifest weight of the evidence because the testimony and evidence presented demonstrated that Chicharro either knew or should have known that he possessed the images or was reckless when downloading certain images.
