The Digital Trail: Inside a Child Exploitation Investigation of Chris Cooley
A digital predator hiding in plain sight exposes the crucial role social media platforms play in catching those who exploit children online. The hosts delve into the troubling case of Christopher Cooley, a seemingly ordinary young man from Mooresville, Indiana, whose secret life was uncovered when both Kik Messenger and Snapchat independently flagged his activities and reported them to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
What unfolds is a masterclass in digital forensic investigation, as detective Kevin Frank meticulously traces IP addresses, email accounts, and subscriber information across multiple platforms to build an airtight case. The digital breadcrumbs create a disturbing picture of escalating behavior that culminates in Cooley's full confession after a search warrant execution recovers evidence from his devices.
Most chilling is Cooley's own admission about his progression from watching adult pornography to seeking increasingly disturbing content involving children - a pattern the hosts identify as the dangerous escalation that often precedes contact offenses. They express particular concern that despite the severity of the evidence and Cooley's confession, he was released on a mere $1,000 bond.
The case highlights how digital platforms serve as a crucial first line of defense in identifying predatory behavior before it escalates to physical abuse. While difficult to discuss, these conversations are vital for community awareness and safety. Understanding how these investigations unfold and recognizing the warning signs of concerning online behavior could prevent future victims.

00:01:08.132 --> 00:01:12.891
These are literally people that are normal, nice people that are hiding in plain sight.
00:01:12.891 --> 00:01:15.584
So we're going to get right into this one.
00:01:15.584 --> 00:01:17.650
The summary of the PCA.
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:37.576
So on, or about the dates and months of December 2024, january through March of 2025, specifically, december 16th 2024, january 25th 2025, and March 5th 2025,.
00:01:37.576 --> 00:01:44.388
Christopher M Cooley knowingly and intentionally committed a criminal offense.
00:01:44.388 --> 00:01:48.412
Christopher Cooley knowingly and intentionally committed a criminal offense.
00:01:48.412 --> 00:02:02.311
Christopher Cooley knowingly and intentionally possessed, with the intent to view, imagery that depicted sexual conduct by a child less than 12 years of age committing possession of child pornography a level five felony.

00:02:20.729 --> 00:02:29.372
Now, on January 23rd 2025, detective Kevin Frank of the Bloomington Police Department began to investigate an internal complaint.
00:02:29.372 --> 00:02:39.688
He is currently affiliated with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, better known as ICAC.
00:02:39.688 --> 00:02:50.919
He often investigates crimes against children, to include child molest, child abuse, child neglect, child exploitation and the possession of child pornography.
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:57.051
He received this complaint from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children, otherwise known as NCMEC.
00:02:57.051 --> 00:03:05.950
This complaint was identified as NCMEC Report no 204071376.
00:03:05.950 --> 00:03:15.389
This complaint was received by NCMEC on December 28, 2024 at 6.02 standard time.
00:03:15.389 --> 00:03:24.854
The primary incident type of this complaint was identified as child pornography possession, manufacturing and distribution.
00:03:24.854 --> 00:03:31.847
The incident time was identified as December 16, 2024 at 11.08.
00:03:32.927 --> 00:03:42.265
The submitter of this complaint to NCMEC was identified as the social media platform of Kik Messenger.
00:03:42.265 --> 00:03:55.837
Kik Messenger, commonly called K, called kick, is a freeware instant messaging mobile app from the canadian company kick interactive, available on ios and android operating systems.
00:03:55.837 --> 00:04:09.831
This application uses a smartphone's internet connection to transmit and receive messages, photos, videos, sketches, mobile webpages and other content after users register a username.
00:04:09.831 --> 00:04:18.720
As part of the complaint, kik had been able to identify the user's account which possessed the child pornography.
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:23.771
Kik provided information regarding this account.
00:04:23.771 --> 00:04:26.637
Provided information regarding this account.
00:04:26.637 --> 00:04:39.449
The screen username on the account was identified as K Lake Love, with the ESP user ID of KLakeLove underscore Q01.
00:04:39.449 --> 00:04:49.995
The associated email on the Kik account was identified as runelifegunner88 at Gmail.
00:04:50.560 --> 00:05:03.192
Kik also provided the IP address used to log into this Kik account, along with the dates and times which are identified, and it has the logins and it has the ports, the UTCs and the times that they were logged in.
00:05:03.192 --> 00:05:06.747
Now here goes another platform that I've never heard of Kick.
00:05:06.747 --> 00:05:07.809
Have you ever heard of kick?
00:05:08.490 --> 00:05:12.725
Yeah, I've heard of it, but I I've not known much about it.
00:05:12.725 --> 00:05:16.540
You just see it on, like on the in social media apps in the app store.
00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:24.661
When you go to download it, like if you're searching for Instagram or Facebook or a social media app, it'll pop up.
00:05:25.141 --> 00:05:28.362
So it's a Canadian-based messaging app.
00:05:28.362 --> 00:05:33.586
Well, obviously they're doing their job, because that's where the complaint came from.
00:05:33.786 --> 00:05:34.447
Well, good.
00:05:35.007 --> 00:05:37.889
A A good Canadians for doing that.
00:05:38.449 --> 00:05:53.038
Now, through the use of MaxMindcom, the detective was able to determine the IP address identified and was currently being serviced by Verizon Wireless.
00:05:53.038 --> 00:06:05.288
The IP address identified is currently being serviced by AT&T Internet.
00:06:05.288 --> 00:06:26.028
Kik also provided NCMEC with several files that were located within this user's account being identified as child pornography, and then there's a list of like six file names with IP addresses and the login information and all the things of that nature.
00:06:26.661 --> 00:06:36.112
Also noted in the complaint regarding these files, kik identified that the user of this account shared files, videos and private chat messages to other users.
00:06:36.112 --> 00:06:43.334
During this investigation, the detective was able to view the files that Kik had provided NCMEC.
00:06:43.334 --> 00:06:49.713
These files depicted adult men having sexual intercourse with infant children.
00:06:49.713 --> 00:06:56.353
The adult men are shown getting off onto the infant's genital areas.
00:06:56.353 --> 00:06:59.329
I know that's disgusting and, believe me, I dummied that down a little bit.
00:06:59.329 --> 00:07:12.980
The files depicted young female children through my training and experience to be under ages A type of oral sex to adult men Disgusting.
00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:22.735
The file shows young female child being forced to provide that type of sex to an adult male, showing that the child is clearly in distress.
00:07:22.735 --> 00:07:30.694
So that means that there's videos of these little, poor little girls being forced to do these sexual acts on grown men.
00:07:30.694 --> 00:07:34.269
This is the type of shit that this cool kid had on his phone.
00:07:34.269 --> 00:07:37.449
I say kid, but he's a kid to me, he's a grown-ass man.
00:07:38.343 --> 00:08:05.399
Now, through this investigation, it was shown that the Kik user identified as K Lake Love, with the ESP user ID of K Lake Love, underscore Q01, with the associated email address of run eLifeGunner88, knowingly and intentionally possessed and distributed imagery of child pornography.
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:16.475
This complaint also showed that the IP address identified were used to access this Kik account and view the child pornography.
00:08:16.475 --> 00:08:31.723
To further this criminal investigation, I requested search warrants to be issued to the entities of Kik, Google Verizon and AT&T Internet to obtain subscriber information, location information and account data.
00:08:31.742 --> 00:08:37.913
location information and account data During this investigation and observing the NCMEC complaint.
00:08:37.913 --> 00:08:49.679
The IP address identified as the numbers identified in the port 4150 was used on December 22, 2024 at 1815.
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:54.826
To log into the Kik account which possessed and distributed the child pornography.
00:08:54.826 --> 00:09:01.556
I received the search warrants and the results back from the Verizon regarding this IP address.
00:09:01.556 --> 00:09:17.450
The individual was identified by police but, as of this point, has been found not to be in part of the child pornography parts of it, so we're not going to mention his name at this point in time.
00:09:19.081 --> 00:09:24.994
Now, the associated phone number was identified and it was listed as a home phone number.
00:09:25.461 --> 00:09:38.955
They were also able to verify through an open source search that the phone number was identified with 100% certainty as being associated with Chris's family.
00:09:38.955 --> 00:09:43.947
So they received the search results back from Verizon.
00:09:43.947 --> 00:09:53.788
Regarding the IP address identified in the NCEC complaint, they provided Verizon okay.
00:09:53.788 --> 00:10:03.813
Verizon provided the date and time listed for the IP address of when the user logged into the account which possessed the child pornography.
00:10:03.813 --> 00:10:11.193
The name identified was the name of the family member with the same address.
00:10:11.193 --> 00:10:17.552
The phone number associated with that account was identified as someone else which they redacted.
00:10:17.552 --> 00:10:32.751
The phone number through an open source search showed that Christopher M Cooley was associated with these numbers, again from Verizon, from the search warrant data.
00:10:32.751 --> 00:11:01.412
Regarding the IP address identified in the NCMEC complaint, they had Verizon provide them with the date and time listed of the IP address when the user logged in and then to the same account that possessed that child pornography, the phone number through an open source search showed that this was associated with Christopher Cooley again.
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:07.660
Also during this investigation, the detective received the search warrants results back from Google.
00:11:07.660 --> 00:11:14.635
This was specifically for the email address identified and they redacted it, which had been identified in the NCMEC complaint.
00:11:14.635 --> 00:11:16.490
The subscriber for the account address identified and they redacted it which had been identified in the NCMEC complaint.
00:11:16.490 --> 00:11:20.514
The subscriber for the account was identified as Chris Cooley.
00:11:20.514 --> 00:11:26.779
The date of birth listed on the account was I'm not going to give his birth date, but he was born in 1991.
00:11:26.779 --> 00:11:33.033
There was also it was also verified as that was verified as Christopher's actual birth date.
00:11:33.033 --> 00:11:37.392
The phone number for the account was also stated as a redacted phone number.
00:11:37.392 --> 00:11:42.392
This phone number had already been determined to be associated with Christopher Cooley.
00:11:43.581 --> 00:11:50.333
I received a search warrant results back from Kik for the user account identified as K Lake Love.
00:11:50.333 --> 00:11:57.793
This account had been identified by Kik and provided to NCMEC regarding the possession of child pornography.
00:11:57.793 --> 00:12:02.471
Upon reviewing the results, I located images videos of child pornography.
00:12:02.471 --> 00:12:31.989
These images were also identified in the original complaint Adult male subjects having intercourse with infant children, along with a toddler child being forced to provide other sex acts to adult male subjects while appearing in distress.
00:12:31.989 --> 00:12:38.068
There was no sign of any serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value to the images, clearly violating IC 4244.
00:12:38.068 --> 00:12:45.539
Now, also located within the account were communication records from the suspect user to other Kix accounts.
00:12:45.539 --> 00:12:52.263
This suspect user is shown sending these communications, so we're going to read.
00:12:52.263 --> 00:13:01.004
It's a list of six messages that were sent from Chris Cooley's account to other people's account.
00:13:01.426 --> 00:13:02.609
These are kind of disgusting.
00:13:02.609 --> 00:13:04.679
These are messages that are sent.
00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:12.068
Really disgusting 18th month 18th month old anal is good as a video.
00:13:12.068 --> 00:13:20.245
Daddy, using her, whether she likes it or not, full version she gets a cream pie in her bottom.
00:13:20.245 --> 00:13:26.341
That's what I'd be doing to you at one years old, just like her, if you were my daughter.
00:13:26.341 --> 00:13:29.624
You said send what I got.
00:13:29.624 --> 00:13:35.929
If I can get any that ago or not, I can get more, but it takes time to find.
00:13:35.929 --> 00:13:38.251
Sorry, the wording's a little bit messed up on the PCA.
00:13:38.251 --> 00:13:41.554
One second I am sending a seven-year-old.
00:13:41.554 --> 00:13:43.317
At least that's what it says.
00:13:46.700 --> 00:13:48.159
Now identified in these communication records with these specific chats.
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:53.006
The user used a certain IP address to make these communications.
00:13:53.006 --> 00:14:01.591
Also, this IP address and port were identified in the NCMEC complaint as being used to possess the images of child pornography.
00:14:01.591 --> 00:14:19.182
On February 27, 2025, the Bloomington Police Department began investigating an Internet complaint department began investigating an internet complaint, um.
00:14:19.182 --> 00:14:21.246
They are currently affiliated with the internet crimes against children task force.
00:14:21.246 --> 00:14:24.332
They received the complaint from the ncmec.
00:14:24.332 --> 00:14:28.346
This complaint was identified now.
00:14:28.346 --> 00:14:31.270
It was received on january 27th.
00:14:31.270 --> 00:14:35.048
The primary incident type was noted as child pornography possession, manufacture and distribution.
00:14:35.048 --> 00:14:36.960
Primary incident type was noted as child pornography possession, manufacture and distribution.
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:41.631
The incident time was noted as January 25th 2025.
00:14:41.631 --> 00:14:52.450
The submitter of the complaint to NCMEC was identified as the social media platforms send in a report that there was child pornography.
00:14:52.450 --> 00:15:15.376
Now Snapchat also sent in another report on a different day to the same NCMEC organization.
00:15:16.179 --> 00:15:25.412
Snapchat, if you don't know, is an American multimedia instant messaging app and service developed by Snap Inc, originally Snapchat Inc.
00:15:25.412 --> 00:15:36.683
One of the principal features of the multimedia Snapchat is that pictures and messages are usually available only for a short time before they become inaccessible to their recipients.
00:15:36.683 --> 00:15:42.043
So and I've seen this in the past I've never really been on it, but I've caught kids using it.
00:15:42.043 --> 00:15:45.832
They send a picture of whatever and it like it disappears.
00:15:45.832 --> 00:15:51.279
You know, for those who don't know, it like disappears in 30 seconds or a minute or something.
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.688
Like right after you see it, or something.
00:15:54.059 --> 00:15:58.552
But obviously watch what you're doing on Snapchat because, thank God, Snapchat reported this.
00:15:59.139 --> 00:16:18.052
The app has evolved from originally focusing on person-to-person photo sharing to presently features of stories of 24 hours of chronological content, along with Discover, letting brands show ad-supported short-form content.
00:16:18.553 --> 00:16:24.038
It also allows users to store photos in a password-protected area called my Eyes Only.
00:16:24.038 --> 00:16:33.379
As a part of the complaint, Snapchat provided NCMEC with some identifiers regarding the Snapchat account which possessed the child pornography.
00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:44.712
The screen username was identified as K179938, with the associated email address as the RunLifeGunner88.
00:16:44.712 --> 00:16:56.307
The IP address associated with accusing the specific account on January 25, 2025, was also identified as and it gives the IP number.
00:16:56.307 --> 00:17:06.365
Through the use of maxmindcom, the detective was able to determine that this is the IP address is currently being serviced by Verizon Wireless.
00:17:06.365 --> 00:17:19.405
He was also familiar with the email address identified as the Run Life Gunner 88, as it is identified in a current investigation regarding the possession of child pornography.
00:17:19.405 --> 00:17:20.387
With this case.
00:17:20.387 --> 00:17:28.355
This made the complaint and on additional complaint from NCMEC regarding the same suspect.
00:17:28.355 --> 00:17:50.171
As part of the complaint, Snapchat provided NCMEC with uploaded file information from this Snapchat account which was identified, and then it has more files of child pornography probably disgusting shit that he was sending through not only this kick platform, but Snapchat as well.
00:17:50.171 --> 00:17:51.112
But Snapchat as well.
00:17:51.833 --> 00:18:00.742
Now, during this investigation of the Snapchat platform, the detective was able to view the file.
00:18:00.742 --> 00:18:05.252
The file depicts an adult male subject holding a naked infant on his lap.
00:18:05.252 --> 00:18:19.055
The male's genitalia is exposed, which the video then shows the adult male having anal intercourse with this infant child, as the child is heard crying.
00:18:19.055 --> 00:18:27.134
Now, regarding this case, the detective received the search warrant results back from Snapchat.
00:18:27.134 --> 00:18:33.433
This was for Snapchat screen username of K179938.
00:18:33.433 --> 00:18:42.344
Screen username of k179938.
00:18:42.344 --> 00:18:45.809
The account also had the associated email address and it is redacted who had been identified as christopher cooley.
00:18:45.829 --> 00:18:53.526
Upon reviewing the media for this account, imagery of child porn was located.
00:18:53.526 --> 00:19:02.175
This included infant children being forced to have sexual intercourse with adult men while the child is appearing in extreme distress.
00:19:02.175 --> 00:19:17.020
The detectives also located imagery of child pornography which depicted a young female under the age of 18 years old showing no signs of development for being older Now.
00:19:17.020 --> 00:19:26.471
This individual was forced to have sexual intercourse with an adult male subject while the child is bound by the legs with duct tape.
00:19:26.471 --> 00:19:34.253
I also located a picture in this account of an adult female with what appears to be her younger daughter.
00:19:34.253 --> 00:19:37.920
Account of an adult female with what appears to be her younger daughter.
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:48.252
Through open search sources, they were able to determine this female's identity and they believed this to be a family member of Christopher Cooley.
00:19:48.252 --> 00:19:56.630
Now, regarding the picture of the infant child being forced to have sexual intercourse, it was dated January 25th 2025.
00:19:56.630 --> 00:20:13.200
Now, the little girl in this picture was further identified as minor victim one Upon observing multiple communication records on Snapchat between Chris Cooley and other users.
00:20:13.721 --> 00:20:21.007
He often states that he has had sexual intercourse with a family member and identifies her by name.
00:20:21.007 --> 00:20:24.346
He talks about things that he has done to her.
00:20:24.346 --> 00:20:41.634
Along with being very descriptive, he also mentions and speaks of not only sexual intercourse, such as conducting anal sex on the child, but mentions that he uses the used diapers for masturbation purposes.
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:59.519
Now, see, folks, this story gets a little bit weird here because it kind of the PCA suggests that this person, um, the female depicted in the video with the child, is a relative of Chris Cooley.
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:06.807
I mean, it says that we're not going to say her name because we have researched her name and we couldn't find literally anything on her name.
00:21:06.807 --> 00:21:31.621
But it also says that the woman in the picture it's depicted as her daughter and it's also saying that Chris Cooley is talking about having sex, forcible sex and this type of sex and diapers.
00:21:31.621 --> 00:21:36.395
So that makes me think that it makes me think a lot of shit really.
00:21:36.395 --> 00:21:48.359
It makes me think that he's maybe forcing this baby to have sex, but when you look up his charges as of right now, it doesn't have any like rape charges or molestation charges.
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.868
It just has the disgusting shit that he had on his phone so far.
00:21:51.868 --> 00:22:09.959
But I mean we really kind of look to see more coming from this because, regarding the PCA, like I said, it is kind of unclear and it kind of mentioned stuff that is very suggestive without being without coming right out and saying some stuff.
00:22:10.506 --> 00:22:20.015
Now, regarding this investigation, a search warrant had been obtained for the individual identified as Christopher Cooley, his vehicle and his residence.
00:22:20.015 --> 00:22:21.900
On March 5, 2025.
00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:30.686
Detectives with the Bloomington Police Department, while being assisted with the Morgan County Sheriff's Department, were able to execute this search warrant.
00:22:30.686 --> 00:22:40.060
Upon arriving to the residence in Mooresville, indiana, christopher Cooley was located inside of his 2008 Ford Mustang in the driveway area.
00:22:41.086 --> 00:22:45.597
Christopher was removed from the vehicle at this time and detained for the investigation.
00:22:45.597 --> 00:22:50.217
I then went to the front door and made contact with Christopher's father.
00:22:50.217 --> 00:22:56.877
I explained the investigation itself and advised him of the search warrant for the residence.
00:22:56.877 --> 00:23:04.689
Other detectives and officers then cleared the residence and no one else was located inside the home At this time.
00:23:04.689 --> 00:23:10.026
Detectives then began taking pictures of inside of the home and executing the search warrant.
00:23:10.026 --> 00:23:20.201
Detectives and officers were able to locate Christopher Cooley's bedroom inside of the home, which was verified by his father as well.
00:23:20.201 --> 00:23:33.780
Upon executing the search warrant, items seized inside of Christopher Cooley's bedroom included flash drives, sd card, a laptop computer, a gaming system and a tablet.
00:23:33.780 --> 00:23:40.615
The seized items were later logged into evidence and a property sheet was completed for the case.
00:23:40.615 --> 00:23:46.214
A copy of the search warrant was also provided to the owner of the residence.
00:23:49.086 --> 00:23:54.473
While officers were executing the search warrant, I was able to interview Christopher Cooley.
00:23:54.473 --> 00:23:58.816
I advised him of his Miranda rights prior to speaking with him.
00:23:58.816 --> 00:24:15.518
Upon explaining the investigation to Christopher regarding his internet activity, obtaining search warrants for his social media accounts and other data, christopher Cooley fully admitted to possessing and distributing imagery of child pornography.
00:24:15.518 --> 00:24:27.077
To possessing and distributing imagery of child pornography, christopher talked to me in detail about how he struggled for several years of watching pornography, which led him to watching child pornography.
00:24:27.077 --> 00:24:32.650
Christopher admitted that he had sought out professional help in the past, but later went back to watching it.
00:24:33.325 --> 00:24:44.217
I talked with Christopher about his social media accounts, his screen usernames and his email accounts that I had obtained regarding the possession of child pornography, which he admitted to being his.
00:24:44.217 --> 00:25:02.556
Christopher also fully admitted to distributing child pornography across the internet and other social media and to other social media users, but stated that he has never profited from it, alluding that he was trading pictures and videos instead.
00:25:02.556 --> 00:25:11.536
Christopher also admitted to possessing and using the Snapchat account regarding this case and possessing the child pornography.
00:25:11.536 --> 00:25:21.380
He admitted to fully engaging in communications with another Snapchat account user regarding the molestation of this family member.
00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:28.317
Christopher admitted to distributing child pornography in these communications as well.
00:25:28.317 --> 00:26:01.594
Christopher also denied ever molesting this family member and stating that he never sees them anyway and it was fantasy talk, as he is addicted to incest pornography as well that's kind of funny, though, if he had the pictures of this family member, you know what I mean in that account where he's distributing all this stuff and obviously, if that family member was marked victim one, then there's some bullshit that we don't know yet about this.
00:26:02.645 --> 00:26:09.996
Yeah, because I wonder why it says victim one but also there's no contact orders in this case.
00:26:10.545 --> 00:26:12.373
There is no, no contact orders.
00:26:12.373 --> 00:26:17.413
Through the course of speaking with Christopher, he was advised of his PURTLE warning.
00:26:17.413 --> 00:26:25.930
Can you explain to us what a PURTLE warning is, because I've never actually heard of that in a PCA or in or in law talk.
00:26:27.925 --> 00:26:40.653
Now a PURTLE warning is a legal advisement specific to the state of Indiana, stemming from the 1975 Indiana Supreme Court case Purtle v State.
00:26:40.653 --> 00:26:51.634
It applies when a person in police custody is asked to consent to a search of their property, such as a home, vehicle or other premises.
00:26:51.634 --> 00:27:07.194
The warning informs the individual that they have the right to consult with an attorney before deciding whether to give consent to the search and that they can refuse the search altogether unless police obtain a search warrant.
00:27:07.797 --> 00:27:10.865
Well, that's pretty interesting, because I had never heard of that PURTLE warning.
00:27:10.865 --> 00:27:16.988
Anyway, it must have been a Supreme case where the person's name was PURTLE and they won a case.
00:27:16.988 --> 00:27:30.728
So they advised him of it and he went ahead and provided the detective with the passcode to his cell phone, which was located inside his vehicle, with him inside it on the front passenger seat.
00:27:30.728 --> 00:27:39.395
The passcode was identified as blah blah, blah, blah blah, and Christopher admitted that child pornography would be on his cell phone as well.
00:27:40.599 --> 00:28:03.489
Upon obtaining the cell phone, the detective located imagery of child pornography on his phone, including naked images of females under the age of 18 years old, along with a specific image of adult males forcibly having anal sex intercourse with infant children, again clearly violating IC 35-42-4-4.
00:28:03.489 --> 00:28:13.705
Also, this specific image was the same file located within Christopher's Snapchat account, which resulted in the NCMEC complaint as well.
00:28:13.705 --> 00:28:18.423
The child appeared to be under the age of one years old people.
00:28:18.423 --> 00:28:35.028
The data of this image on the phone was dated 3-5-2025 at approximately 11-33 am, again identifying Christopher knowingly and intentionally possessed child pornography on today's date with the intent to view it.
00:28:35.028 --> 00:28:41.928
Christopher talked extensively about being addicted to the child pornography and how it has complicated his life.
00:28:41.928 --> 00:28:57.328
At the conclusion of the interview, christopher Cooley was transported to the Morgan County Jail by Morgan County deputies by Morgan County deputies of the charges of child exploitation a level four felony, and possession of child pornography a level five felony.
00:28:58.130 --> 00:28:59.511
Wow, that's crazy.
00:29:02.634 --> 00:29:03.361
Didn't they update his charges?
00:29:03.361 --> 00:29:03.904
Read his updated charges.
00:29:03.904 --> 00:29:07.980
I think they added some with special circumstances because of the age of somebody's circumstances.
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:09.865
Yeah, aggravating circumstances.
00:29:09.924 --> 00:29:22.698
Yeah, His updated charges are child exploitation on December 1st of 2024.
00:29:22.698 --> 00:29:29.844
And then there are three level five possession of child pornography with aggravating factors found.
00:29:29.844 --> 00:29:54.641
Aggravating factors found and those dates are the 16th of December 2024, january 25th 2025, and March 5th of 2025.
00:29:54.641 --> 00:29:55.284
Those are his updated charges.
00:29:55.284 --> 00:30:05.386
Now, excuse me, I got to speak with somebody who knew Chris very, very well and this is what they had to say about him that he was a quiet, sweet guy, very shy, and was raised in Mooresville.
00:30:05.386 --> 00:30:07.951
He had a big heart, loved his family.
00:30:07.951 --> 00:30:15.019
Now this double life is a complete alter ego and not at all how anyone around him saw him.
00:30:15.394 --> 00:30:17.663
Wasn't he on the tennis team in high school and shit.
00:30:18.855 --> 00:30:26.288
Yeah, I seen that he was just like an all around American regular young man.
00:30:26.288 --> 00:30:36.182
Nobody, none of his family, friends, nobody ever seen this coming at all.
00:30:36.522 --> 00:30:39.644
People know me man, my friends, my family.
00:30:39.644 --> 00:30:42.547
I know a lot of people man around everywhere.
00:30:42.547 --> 00:30:44.568
I've never been into watching porn.
00:30:44.568 --> 00:30:45.529
I just never have.
00:30:45.529 --> 00:30:48.912
I'm just not that type of dude to want to watch other people have sex.
00:30:48.912 --> 00:30:55.660
It really freaking gets me that people want to watch nasty shit like infants and adults.
00:30:55.660 --> 00:30:57.282
I'll never, ever understand it.
00:30:57.282 --> 00:31:02.318
That's almost like a new kind of a freaking evil.
00:31:02.318 --> 00:31:11.421
I mean that's torture, it is it's rape, it's forcible rape, it's sodomy, it's torture.
00:31:11.421 --> 00:31:20.171
And people let us know in the comments on Facebook and on the comments of this what you think about this.
00:31:20.171 --> 00:31:24.767
And you know we're really trying to stray away from this a little bit.
00:31:24.767 --> 00:31:28.704
We want to get back into some old school real crime time type stuff.
00:31:28.704 --> 00:31:29.366
You know what I mean.
00:31:29.934 --> 00:31:33.766
Stuff besides what's going on here in Morgan County right now.
00:31:33.766 --> 00:31:35.220
Like I am sick of it.
00:31:35.454 --> 00:31:45.849
This county does not short us any craziness and content for us to use.
00:31:45.849 --> 00:31:48.604
I mean, people hear about this stuff, about people.
00:31:48.604 --> 00:31:59.017
I mean, this is Mooresville and when I grew up around here, mooresville was a nice ass place to live and this isn't a bad neighborhood where we're talking about where this dude's from.
00:31:59.017 --> 00:32:09.962
We actually have family that live, I mean, as the crows flies, within a mile or two from this dude's house and mooresville is not a bad place.
00:32:10.143 --> 00:32:13.328
Morgan County is not a bad place.
00:32:13.328 --> 00:32:25.906
There's a lot of good, good people in this county and, you know, in these small towns, and it's just so sad that this kind of light's getting shined on the place that we live.
00:32:26.315 --> 00:32:27.336
I mean it's bad enough.
00:00:01.542 --> 00:00:11.195
00:00:11.195 --> 00:00:12.942
00:00:12.942 --> 00:00:17.693
00:00:17.693 --> 00:00:22.010
00:00:22.010 --> 00:00:25.408
00:00:25.408 --> 00:00:30.486
00:00:30.486 --> 00:00:34.926
00:00:34.947 --> 00:00:35.668
00:00:35.668 --> 00:00:38.067
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:52.061
00:00:52.061 --> 00:00:57.372
00:00:57.372 --> 00:01:04.343
00:01:04.343 --> 00:01:08.132
00:01:08.132 --> 00:01:12.891
00:01:12.891 --> 00:01:15.584
00:01:15.584 --> 00:01:17.650
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:37.576
00:01:37.576 --> 00:01:44.388
00:01:44.388 --> 00:01:48.412
00:01:48.412 --> 00:02:02.311
00:02:02.311 --> 00:02:20.128
00:02:20.729 --> 00:02:29.372
00:02:29.372 --> 00:02:39.688
00:02:39.688 --> 00:02:50.919
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:57.051
00:02:57.051 --> 00:03:05.950
00:03:05.950 --> 00:03:15.389
00:03:15.389 --> 00:03:24.854
00:03:24.854 --> 00:03:31.847
