According to the complaint in this case, Turner “intentionally and knowingly” possessed, with the intent to promote, visual material (modified, uploaded, and shared with a third party) that visually depicted children engaging in sexual conduct.
“On July 11, 2016, Sgt. Andrew Alwine, with the Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office, was asked to follow up on an emailed tip pertaining to this case. The tip was made by a man from San Antonio, Texas.
The man, Zachary Yarnes, said Turner sent him the images in order to sway his opinion on a fellow group member. Yarnes said the images were of the fellow group member engaged in a video chat.
“Yarnes stated the images had another image transposed into the larger one in the top right corner,” said the complaint. “Yarnes stated the image was of a female child, younger than 18 years of age, engaged in sexual conduct.”
Yarnes provided Sgt. Alwine with the images.
The images showed a white male engaging in sexual acts with a nude female child approximately 10 – 14 years of age.
On Aug. 1, 2016, Sgt. Alwine and Sgt. William Fiveash met with Turner at the Sheriff’s Office, where Turner gave his consent to a search of his computer hard drive.
Turner admitted to possessing, downloading and distributing video and image files depicting children younger than 18 engaging in sexual acts.
Sgt. Alwine viewed numerous images depicting children, including videos of an adult man sexually assaulting a child with her face turned towards the camera; and he found another video that showed a bound boy, approximately 11 years old, being sexually assaulted by multiple men, noted the complaint.
Turner even possessed images of children younger than four years of age engaging in sexual conduct, all accessed through sharing mediums online.
“[Turner] stated the numerous storage devices he possessed may contain up to one million image files and thousands of video files depicting children younger than 18 years of age engaging in sexual conduct,” read the complaint.
For his actions, Turner faces a second degree felony, and his bond is set at $30,000. This is also Turner’s first arrest in Tom Green County.
