One condition of his supervised release prevented the defendant from possessing cellular telephones without the authorization of the U.S. Probation Department. On Dec. 16, 2014, during a routine visit, probation officers found Weaver had two unauthorized cellular telephones. The defendant admitted that he got the phones in order to download images of child pornography. A forensic examination found that the phones contained 1500 images and 20 videos of child pornography. Many of the images were of prepubescent children under the age of 12 that depicted violence between adults and the children.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by United States Probation Department, under the direction of Anthony SanGiacomo and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge James C. Spero.
