According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:

From Jan. 31, 2020, through June 12, 2020, Medina possessed mobile phones and a tablet, which contained multiple images of child sexual abuse, including children under age 12 and sadistic and masochistic conduct or other depictions of violence or sexual abuse or exploitation involving an infant or toddler.
