49. For example, an image on the external hard drive titled “IMG_6957.JPG” depicts the screen of another device. Visible on that screen is an Omegle video chat. The other person in the chat (identified as “Stranger” per Omegle convention) identified themselves as 14 years old in the text portion of the chat and provided their Kik username. Meek’s portion of the video chat was also visible in the image. Meek’s nude abdomen, legs, and penis were visible. Meek can be seen holding his penis with his left hand. This image was taken with an Apple iPhone 6, and the creation date of the image was December 20, 2016.

Those are the only portions of this text conversation visible in the screenshot.

Based on the language and the text of the conversations, as well as the display picture showing what appeared to be a minor female, it appears that Meek was using an account with the display name “taytayjadar” in which he posed as a minor female to
