Palm Beach County teacher arrested for child pornography describes it as 'art,' says it's 'not real'

I can’t fully understand if when google reported him, he uploaded only anime and fiction or if there was real cp on top of that. he also was found to possess “images of sexual performances by a child” but I still can’t tell if they consider anime images to qualify for that. I really hope that he wasnt arrested for only having hentai because then the ncmec would be overstepping

It was real images. The court documents are very clear and even list the hash value of the incriminating images and since he was using Bing it probably triggered PhotoDNA which Microsoft uses to identify known CSAM.

The document also include an interview and he simply claims that he does not know if those images are real. Basically just coping.

Oh so he did upload real cp to his google drive in addition to anime? The headline is misleading then

can confirm - they were real images. Google turned over the full contents of his drive following the execution of a warrant.
