A Marshall man is scheduled to be sentenced on Monday in Saline County after he pleaded guilty to being in possession of child pornography.

According to a probable-cause statement filed in May of 2020, a report from a Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent says HSI in Kansas City was in receipt of six reports submitted to NCMEC by Dropbox, Inc. Two reports were from November 2017, two reports were from December 2017 and one each on February 19 and April 23, 2018.

The accounts associated with the Dropbox accounts were identified as belonging to Brandon Lee Walker. All six reports reported the images/videos of child pornography had been uploaded to servers from an IP Address connected to Walker.

During a forensic analysis of electronic devices used by Walker, a total of approximately 2,563 suspected child pornography files were found- of which 451 were suspected child pornography videos and 2,162 were suspected child pornography images.

During his interview with investigators, Walker admitted to having cloud accounts and e-mail accounts, using many different e-mails. Walker admitted to downloading/uploading images and videos of children ranging from six to 13 years of age. He said he collected the images and videos, but did not review them.

Walker withdrew his not guilty plea and pleaded guilty in February to three counts of a Class B Felony for Possession of Child Pornography.

Walker is scheduled to be sentenced at 1:15 p.m. Monday, April 26 at Saline County Circuit Court.
