Bellevue Man Charged in Child Porn Investigation

In a search of the defendant’s computer, Bellevue Police found browsers that are commonly used for enabling anonymous communication on the Internet to conceal and cover a user’s location and network usage.

The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged a Bellevue man with two criminal counts related to child pornography after a police investigation showed he was peddling in the misery of sexually abused children.

The defendant showed the threat he poses to community safety, most specially minor children, the deputy prosecuting attorney handling the case wrote.

“After serving a search warrant in the 1800 block 129th Pl SE, investigators located well over 1,000 child pornography images and videos on Dobson’s multiple electronic devices,” Bellevue Police wrote on their blog. “There were at least 800 of those files with identified child victims.”
