A man accused of sending child sexual abuse material has been arrested in Warrenton, Virginia, after FBI agents found 88 images on his phone. Federal prosecutors charged him with transmitting child pornography, using evidence collected in an investigation that began after a tip in 2024. Local authorities in Virginia searched his home in July 2024, and the case later moved to the FBI. Court documents say the federal probe was launched separately from another investigation involving his father, a former CIA director. The larger federal matter into his father has been ongoing for more than a year, with prosecutors checking whether officials violated civil rights during earlier investigations related to Donald Trump. The case has slowed recently after resignations among the top prosecutors who led it, and no charges have been filed so far. In the current case, the accused man is facing federal charges in the Eastern District of Virginia. The documents and US police officials cited by Reuters say it was only after the FBI took over that agents examined the phone and identified the 88 images depicting minors in explicit sexual acts. It is not known whether he has a lawyer. He remains charged and in the early stages of the federal case, with court proceedings pending.
