Craigslist Ad Led FBI Agents to Navy Tech’s Stash of Child Porn

[Turd Fergusen]

A US Navy information systems technician who posted an explicit Craigslist ad looking for sex with a “young” girl has been busted for child porn, according to a report.

Petty Officer 1st Class Robert Houston Birchett, of Portsmouth, Virginia, appeared in court Thursday after being charged earlier in January with one count of possession of child pornography, the Virginian-Pilot reports.

“The defendant is not just someone who sat behind a computer and looked at child porn,” Special Assistant US Attorney Matthew Heck told a judge. “He actively solicited sex with minors.”

Birchett, 31, was first interviewed by investigators in November 2018 while he was assigned to US Fleet Cyber Command in Suffolk. He admitted posting candid ads on Craigslist earlier that year before the website removed its personal listings, but denied trying to have sex with a child, the newspaper reports.

“Please be young or willing to play with young,” one post read. “Be real and willing to please.”

The ads had been flagged as suspicious and agents from Homeland Security Investigating ultimately traced them back to an IP address linked to Birchett’s former home, court documents show.

"...willing to play with young." I'm done with lunch after reading that.

Can they actually nail this guy for anything?
Seems he implied but didn’t actually do anything. Looking for young doesn’t mean underage and play with young things means nothing,

Investigators after that discovered documents names showing child pornography after Birchett permitted private investigators to search one of his computer systems, the paper records.

Agents later on discovered 83 pictures as well as one video clip of thought child pornography throughout searches of 2 computer as well as 2 outside disk drives discovered in Birchett’s residence.

Proof of 52 erased photos as well as 4 erased video clip documents were additionally discovered. Birchett asserted he obtained them from one more armed forces participant at some point in 2008 or 2009, court records reveal.
