No wagering on DU but I've got my bet ready.
Charleston, SC suspect.
a little more: (This creep is DUMB AS A BAG OF HAMMERS)
The idiot bought CSAM using PayPal.
This is why crypto was invented! To make anonymous criminal deals! (1)
Investigators say Homeland Security Investigations received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in December. That tip flagged several accounts on PayPal that were communicating with and making payments to a known vendor of child sex abuse material from the United Kingdom, court documents state.
Investigators were able to determine that one of the PayPal accounts belonged to Gosnell, the documents state. That led them to execute a search warrant at Gosnell’s home last Tuesday, during which they found a USB flash drive plugged into Gosnell’s computer that contained hundreds of videos of child sex abuse material, prosecutors say.

He also used the Telegram app. I am not aware of how to get those messages, though an unlocked phone is a common technique, I imagine, if a phone (or computer) is found unlocked or someone is "persuaded" to unlock it, but heck, what does a Republican judge know about 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights? They'd gladly do away with them, I am sure.
You don't need to use scribd, which requires a login (I hate that shit) but the doc is here: (pdf download link)
From the article:
EDITOR’S NOTE: The federal government’s filing is below. It contains graphic details of alleged crimes against Gosnell, which readers may find extremely disturbing. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
There are no graphics in the document. The word "graphic" has two meanings that get confused. Graphic meaning an image, and graphic as in "cover your eyes if you don't want to read about cringe-worthy behavior".

(1) Crypto is NOT anonymous, only partly so, in that transactions are not linked to a person, only a wallet. But at exchanges where one "cashes out" de-anonymizing is done, and the DOJ has a pile of money from doxxing.
