United States v. Eric Shields

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that Shields’ “use of the name ‘LittleLolitaLove’ [in] registering for multiple e-groups where” child pornography images were “available and disseminated bolster[ed] a practical, commonsense decision that Shields likely downloaded such images”
• suggesting alternative holding by rejecting staleness argument in child pornography case where online e-groups that were the basis for the warrant had been defunct for nearly nine months
• finding sufficient probable cause to search the defendant’s home where defendant used a suggestive email address to join two online groups dedicated to exchanging child pornography
• finding probable cause when the defendant voluntarily became a member of two e-group sites trading in child pornography and subscribed with an e-mail address strongly suggestive of an interest in child pornography
• defendant's membership in multiple sites undermined suggestion that his membership may have been unwitting or innocent
• defendant’s membership in multiple sites undermined suggestion that his membership may have been unwitting or innocent
