The Investigation
The investigation began when FBI offices in Bakersfield received information from other branch offices in Texas, Oklahoma and New Jersey indicating that Hollis was sharing child pornography online. On August 15, 2008, officers served a search warrant at Hollis' home and after finding some evidence of his involvement in child pornography, placed him under arrest. During the investigation of his computer it was found that Hollis used Limewire, part of the gnutella peer-to-peer network, as well as another program called Bitlord to download and share the pornographic images.Bakersfield Now: Man sentenced for 'inhumane' child pornography (May 12, 2009) KERO Bakersfield: Local Man Sentenced to 17.5 Years...
