Description: Providence, Rhode Island criminal law lawyer represented defendant charged with accessing and uploading child pornography.
In May 2020, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) was notified by a social media platform that a user utilizing the online platform had uploaded child pornography. A court-authorized search of the user’s account revealed eleven images of child pornography and thirteen child pornography videos. Agents traced the IP address associated with the account to a Newport residence.
On October 27, 2020, agents executed a court-authorized search of the residence and arrested Craig M. Mulvey, 41, after locating images and videos of child pornography on his laptop computer.

On October 23, 2021, Mulvey was arrested by Providence Police on a Rhode Island state charge of domestic violence – simple assault and/or battery 3rd+ offense. At a bond revocation hearing two days later in U.S. District Court, Mulvey consented to detention in federal custody.
