top of the image, and the image is focused on the nude body of Identified Minor 2. The breasts, abdomen, and pelvic area of Identified Minor 2 are visible. At the bottom of the image is a text banner that states “Tell [public figure 1] to talk to me or I am getting Snapchat”. The creation date for the image was December 15, 2019.

34. A review of images from the external hard drive revealed approximately 11 images of Identified Minor 2. One image, titled IMG_3379.PNG and dated January 12, 2022, (likely the date the image was saved to the hard drive) depicted a screenshot of a Snapchat image. Identified Minor 2’s Snapchat username was visible at the top of the image. The image depicted Identified Minor 2 with her shirt pulled up to expose her breasts, and her pants pulled down to expose her pubic region. The bottom of the image contains a text banner that states “Who’s little girl do I belong to”. Two additional images also displayed Identified Minor 2’s pelvic area, but her vagina was not visible through the pubic hair.

35. Law enforcement interviewed Identified Minor 2, who confirmed that Meek and other men had approached her through Snapchat and had pressured her to provide pictures depicting sexually explicit conduct.

47. Review of the electronic devices seized during the search warrant has also resulted in significant evidence that Meek has engaged directly, and attempted to engage, with minors online on platforms and applications other than Snapchat.

48. Law enforcement located images of Meek video chatting with self-identified minors on Omegle on the external hard drive. Omegle is a communication platform in which a user can be randomly matched with another user for an anonymous text communication, video communication, or both. It is possible for Omegle users to enter search terms that make it more likely to be matched with certain categories of people, including likely minors.
