Man Converts To Islam And Gets Arrested On Terrorism Charges, FBI Finds Child And Infant Porn Collection On His Computer

Sean Duncan converted to Islam and wanted to engage in terrorism. He was caught and arrested, and when the FBI was investigating his smartphone they found a collection of porn involving prepubescent children and infants:

Court documents say a Virginia man charged with obstructing a terrorism investigation had child pornography on a smartphone.

The Washington Post reports a search warrant executed last week says federal agents who searched 21-year-old Sean Andrew Duncan’s electronic devices for ties to the Islamic State group found what an FBI agent’s affidavit describes as hundreds of sexually explicit images of pre-pubescent children, including infants.

Duncan was arrested in December and accused of destroying a thumb drive that may have contained evidence of criminal activity. Duncan has been under FBI scrutiny since February 2016, when he lived in the Pittsburgh suburbs.

A U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia spokesman declined to comment to the newspaper on the possibility of child pornography charges. An attorney for Duncan declined comment. (source)
