MelbuFrahma4 11/15/18 2:15:13 AM #1:	https://www.expressnews.com/news/local/article/Federal-agent-to-plead-guilty-to-child-porn-13388623.php A federal agent has signed a plea deal in which he admits he received and accessed thousands of images of child pornography. Richard Nikolai Gratkowski, 40, who has been with Homeland Security Investigations since 2008, took a plea offer instead of going to trial. A guilty plea means he faces five to 20 years on the charge of receiving the images and up to 20 years on a count of accessing child porn with intent to view it. He is expected to formalize the deal at a plea hearing expected to be scheduled within a week in federal court in San Antonio. Baker testified that Gratkowskis arrest arose out of an investigation into a child porn website on The Onion Router, or TOR network, which seeks to keep users anonymous by using thousands of relays or servers, much like the layers of an onion. The same investigation also ensnared then-Border Patrol agent Paul Casey Whipple, 35, of Hondo in mid-December. According to Baker, the website in question provided access to more than 117,000 graphic child porn videos. Gratkowski and Whipple were both identified as users. In Gratkowskis case, he used his USAA bank account and his government ID to buy bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, and open an account on the child porn website in April 2016, Baker said. Gratkowski then established a second account that gave him access to the site through much of 2017. Baker said Gratkowski also visited two other child porn websites on the TOR network and used a social media app called Kik to get to another child porn site. The FBI served a search warrant at Gratkowskis home in early January and recovered two nonworking iPhones and a computer hard drive, but did not find any child porn images, Baker said. But the FBI did find in one of two working iPhones recovered from Gratkowski evidence of links to child pornography, and he admitted visiting the child porn sites, Baker said. He said that in April 2016, he turned to child porn and turned to the site and two other (child porn) sites on the TOR network, Baker testified at the February hearing. He advised hed been in a dark place as a result of problems with his wife, work stressors and financial stressors. He went to the dark net to avoid detection. Baker testified that before the raid, Gratkowski used an anti-forensics program to wipe child porn images from his computers. --- "We'll never see Day-Lewis and Kubrick, or Kurosawa and Eastwood, but we have seen Bale and Nolan, a cinematic dream pairing come to life!" <cite>MelbuFrahma4 posted [p:912432668] in Homeland S...
