On January 9, 2019, Collin County Sheriff’s Office Child Exploitation Unit (CEU) Investigators arrested Christopher Michael Chairez for Possession of Child Pornography and Possession with Intent to Promote Child Pornography.
Collin County Sheriff’s Office Investigators, working in an undercover capacity, identified Chairez as an individual utilizing the internet to traffic in child pornography.
These investigators obtained and executed a search warrant for the suspect’s residence in Plano, Texas. Evidence recovered at the scene includes 18 terabytes of data on devices utilized to share and view child pornography.
Chairez is being held in the Collin County Detention Facility.
Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner stated, “The shocking quantity of child pornography seized in this investigation reminds us how important it is for parents to diligently monitor their children’s on-line activities. Child predators seek to exploit children whose parents don’t know, or don’t care about, the identities of the individuals who communicate with them over the web. We ask all parents to be vigilant and report any suspicious social-media activity to law enforcement.”
We want to thank the Texas Department of Public Safety and Wylie Police Department for their assistance in this investigation.
