Law enforcement executed a search warrant of Hruby’s residence in early April and allegedly discovered a phone that contained the suspected files. The complaint says Hruby told investigators the files may have come from a messaging app called Telegram. Hruby said he left the app after receiving the files but then decided to look at the video.
