After the interview Your Affiant then talked to the parents of Victim They asked if her cell
phone could be gone through to see if there were things on there that would lead us to a possible
suspect. They were told that it could be gone through but they needed to sign a consent form
because the phone did belong to the parents. Victim #1 did not know the suspects name or
address of where he lived. She only knew the city of the suspect, which was Arlington, TX and
that is where she went when they had sex, at his house. signed a consent form for a search
of the phone. and . both stated they wanted to file charges on the suspect if he was
lD?ed and arrested. - 

On 1?25?201 6 Victim #1 cell phone was taken to Tarrant County Digital Forensic Technical
Services for analysis. The phone was analysis and placed on a thumb drive. The phone and
thumb drive was returned on the same day. There was not any information found on the phone
about the suspect. I did find other things on her phone about meeting other guys with Victim #2
at a hotel. Your Affiant believed that there could have been other suspects and that ?The Friend?
that she talked about in the forensic interview may not have been involved as much as Victim #1
had indicated. It is not normal practice for Your Affiant to conduct a secondary interview after a
forensic is done, but Your Affiant felt there was more to the story after looking through Victim
#1 phone.

On 1?26?201 6 Your Affiant contacted Victim #1 parents and asked them if Your Affiant could
talk to Victim #1 again. They agreed and brought her into the Keller PD, the interview was
conducted in CID interview room that was audio and video recorded. . and

both gave consent for Your Affiant to talk to Victim #1 alone. Victim #1 phone was returned to

 

her during this interview. The conversation was about the time frame of when she went to the
suspect?s home. There was talk about ?The Friend? that she talked about in the forensic
interview, in that she did not have a lot of info about the ?The Friend? on her phone. Victim #2
was brought up brie?y, because she had a lot of her on the phone. She said Victim #2 and her
were friends but had to break it off cause she was getting in trouble with her. The story that
Victim #1 told is that ?The Friend? (who is also a Juvenile), introduce Victim #1 to the suspect.
Victim #1 said that ?The Friend? had made money before to have sex with the suspect, and there
was conversation for about a month about Victim #1 going with ?The Friend? to the suspect?s
house. She said the conversation was about getting paid for hanging out with him. Victim #1
asked ?The Friend? like an escort, and ?The Friend? said yeah exactly like that. Victim #1 said
she knows what an escort is and does to earn money. One day ?The Friend? snapchated Victim
#1 and asked if she wanted to make money. Victim #1 said yes and ?The Friend? and her
boyfriend came and picked her up around her house. Victim #1 said they left and went to the
suspect?s house in Arlington. She said the boyfriend dropped them off, but she does not think he
knew anything. Victim #1 said she thought ?The Friend? was going to do something with the guy
but not her. Your Affiant asked her about the suspect?s house. She described the house as really
big, but. did not have a lot of other information about it. Victim #1 stated when they got there and
went inside; they smoked weed, his and ?The Friends?. She said she thought suSpect and ?The
Friend? was going to do stuff (sex). ?The Friend? then told her that the suspect was going to pay
her a lot of money if she lost her virginity to him. Your Affiant did not get into the sex acts
because it was already discussed during the forensic interview. It was asked if what she told the
forensic interviewer about the sexual act was all that happened. Victim #1 did say that she gave
him a blow job along with what she told the interviewer. She said that the suspect then gave them
$200.00 each; ?The Friend? got $200.00 for introducing them. She said ?The Friend? then went
into the bathroom with her and ?The Friend? opened a bathroom drawer and stole money from
him. Victim #1 said ?The Friend? got introduced to the suspect from another girl, and that girl

met the suspect on Seekingarangements.com. Victim #1 could not describe the suspect;
she was asked if there was any age discussed with the suspect. She said ?The Friend? told him
she was 18 years old and she thinks she told  she was 18 also. The conversation continued
about possible other people that were involved and things going on at school, and then the
interview was over.

On 1-27-2016 Your Affiant received a phone call from about Victim #1 telling them
everything the night prior and that there was more information that needed to be discussed.

said that Victim #1 told her the story, which was the same but the players in the story were
different. Victim #l and (father) came to the Keller PD for another interview. Your
Affiant asked consent again to talk to Victim #1 alone. On the first part of the interview
she discussed some information about meeting guys at a hotel but not having sex with them and
how all that happened. Your Affiant told her to start telling the truth, and that her story was not
making a lot of since. She stated that she would tell me everything. She said that the person that
introduced them to the suspect was actually Victim #2 not ?The Friend?. She said it was through
the Seekingarraingmentscom website that Victim #2 had got from another friend (whom is
known juvenile in Keller). Victim #1 said she did not want to tell about Victim #2 because she
was afraid of her getting into trouble. Victim #1 also mentioned another girl that had gone to the
suspect?s house, who will be known as Victim #4 from this point forward. Victim

 

#1 said that Your Affiant would be able to find everything about the suspect on Victim #2?s
phone, because she was the one that would be in contact with him. Victim #1 said she saw a
picture on Victim 3 phone that was sent from the suspect, that showed Victim #2 tied up.
Victim #2 told her yeah ?1 know he is weird?. Victim #2 asked Victim #1 if she wanted to go do
it with the suspect. Victim #1 said that she was picked up by Victim #3 whom is 16 and has a car
and Victim #2 at the stop sign by her house. Victim #1 said Victim #2 pulled up the suspects
address on maps on her phone. Victim #1 said Victim #2 said they were going to get paid
$200.00 to hang out with him. Victim #1 said Victim #2 did not do anything with him that night.
Victim #1 said they were smoking weed and drinking alcohol. She said Victim #3 was brought
into his bedroom and she thinks something happened but is not sure. She said that when he came
out he really did not like Victim Victim #1 said that Victim #3 was in the room for about
30mins and Victim #3 said they did have sex. She believed that the suspect was in his late 20?s.
She said that the suspect came out of the bedroom and started talking to Victim #1 about losing
her virginity. Victim #1 said they did have seX after Victim #3 and the suspect were done. She
said Victim #2 and she got paid $200.00 each but Victim #3 only got paid $50.00. Victim #1
stated that Victim #2 and Victim #4 had just done it a couple of weeks ago with the same guy
(meaning in January 2016). Your Affiant and Victim #1 then talked about things that were found
on her phone not pertaining to the suspect, also about Victim #2 and how she would react if
talked to. The interview was ended and Victim #1 and her parents exited.

On 1?28?201 6 Your Af?ant wrote a Search Warrant for Victim #2?s phone, from the
conversation that I had from Victim #1 it was unsure if Victim #2 would be cooperative with the
investigation. Your Af?ant believed also that Victim #2 was also a possible victim of a crime,
and the information on her phone would give the link to the possible suspect. The Search
Warrant was signed by Judge G. Gallagher Tarrant County District Judge. Your Affiant then
contacted Victim #2?s mother and talked to her a little bit about the case. She was
informed that there was a Search Warrant for the phone. . said she owned the phone. It was
agreed by .that Your Affiant would go to High School and retrieve the phone from
Victim #2 and then . would go pick her up and bring her to the Keller PD so that she could
be interviewed. Your Affiant went to the High School and found out Victim #2 had skipped
school, Your Af?ant informed . Approximately 2 hours later Victim #2 was found by Your
Af?ant and . Her phone was taken and all of us went to the PD. At the PD, Victim #2 was
brought into CID interview room where it was audio and video recorded. gave consent for
Your Affiant to talk to Victim #2 alone. Your Affiant talked to Victim #2 about truth and lies,
she understood the difference between a truth and a lie. Victim #2 said she was introduced to the
suspect by a friend (juvenile), the friend told Victim #2 that she did not do anything with him.
She said all you do is go to dinner and hang out with him and you get paid. Victim #2 was told
by the friend that he wanted to meet her; the friend gave the suspect Victim #2 phone number.
The friend begged her to hang out with him because she was going to get paid also. Victim #2
started texting back and forth with the suspect. Victim #2 said that was on her old phone when
she started talking to the suspect; she said that it broke and she got a new phone around
November or December. Victim #2 said the suspects name is Tim, she said she saw his driver?s

She said Tim took her on a tour of his house, made her alcohol drinks, and provided weed to
smoke, she said he got the weed from a drawer behind his bar. Victim #2 said Tim was smoking
the weed from a big glass pipe, orange, blue, pink, and red in color. She said they went out on the
dock, and started getting closer to her and touching her, kissing her, and trying to take her clothes
off. She said he kept telling her he would give her more money, when she would tell him no.
Victim #2 said she ?nally gave in and they went into his bedroom. She said they were on his bed,
and he got a condom out of a drawer, and they just did it. Victim #2 said he was trying to ?eat her
out?, and ?trying to get her wet?, she said when she didn?t enjoy it he put his penis inside her
vagina; Victim #2 said they were both fully naked, after everything stopped she washed off and
got clothes back on. She said they left and he bought her food and dropped her off by her house.

Victim #2 said that he was always texting her but she ignored it a lot of times, she went over to
his house around October 2015, and she remembers because she broke the screen on her phone,.
She said that she could use the money to ?x her phone. Victim #2 said he picked her up from the

was ID?ed and arrested.

Through Your Af?ants investigation of the interviews and cell phones of the victim?s, it is
learned that Timothy James Burns lives at 2620 Perkins Rd, Arlington TX. It is
Your Af?ants belief that Timothy Burns is the suspect that has been having sexual intercourse
with underage girls and giving them money to do so.

 

Based upon the above facts, the Affiant has probable cause to believe that evidence of the
above listed crimes is located at 2620 PERKINS RD, ARLINGTON, TARRANT COUNTY, TX
76016. Speci?cally, Affiant is seeking to remove items seized as listed in the warrant attached hereto
from this location.

6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING CHILD PORNO GRAPHY AND
RELATED OFFENSES: 

Based on your af?ant?s training and experience in child pornography cases, he has
learned that collectors of child pornography have told other Investigators in debriefings that the
most efficacious way to expand a collection of child pornography is to offer another collector
(via a trade over the Internet) visual images that the trading partner does not already possess.
Accordingly, it is necessary to keep a great number of images available so as to have adequate
material to allow for participation in this informal barter system. The tendency to store child
pornography is enhanced by the increased sense of security that a computer affords through its
compact size and the ability with a computer, via passwords and otherwise, to keep others from
looking at their material. A person in possession of one or more pornographic depictions
involving children, either by film, photograph, videotape, negative, slide, or any photographic
reproduction that contains or incorporates in any manner any film, photograph, videotape,
negative, slide, on any disk, diskette; or other physical medium that allows an image to be
displayed on a computer or other video screen; and any image transmitted to a computer or other
video screen by telephone line, cable satellite transmission or other method is in violation of
Texas Penal Code 

Furthermore, a person who knowingly or intentionally promotes or possesses with intent
to promote, procure, manufacture, issue, sell, give, provide, lend, mail, deliver, transfer, transmit,
publish, distribute, circulate, disseminate, present, exhibit, or advertise, offer or agree to do any
of such is in violation of promoting child pornography as defined by Texas Penal Code Section
A person' who possesses visual material that contains six (6) or more identical visual
depictions of child pornography is also presumed to possess the material with the intent to
promote the material.

Based on your affiant?s past experience and training, your affiant knows that graphic
image files containing child pornography can be maintained for long periods of time in a number
of ways: on a computer?s built?in hard disk drive, on portable storage disks, on or on
other media. Most often the collector maintains the files purposefully. Even when the 
pornographic files have been deleted (due to guilt or fear of discovery), computer forensic
experts are nonetheless often able to recover the deleted pornographic images that had been
purposefully possessed previously.

Based on his past experience and training, your af?ant knows that persons who use
personal computers in their homes tend to retain their personal files and data for extended
periods of time even if a person has replaced, traded in or ?upgraded? to a new personal

computer. Your affiant also knows personal computer users routinely transfer most of their saved

 

data onto their new computers when making an upgrade. ?This data transfer is often done by
saving ?les from the old computer to media sources or ?oppy disks, etc), then opening
them onto the new computer and saving them to the new hard drive. Visual images, such as child
pornography, are as likely (if not more so) as other data to be transferred to a person?s new,
replacement or upgraded computer system.

Based on your af?ant?s training and experience, and on past experience in the on?line child
pornography area also suggests that collections of child pornography will?more than likely be located
in the suspect?s home. Your affrant has learned that the primary reason they collect sexually explicit
images of children is for their personal sexual arousal and grati?cation, the primary reason
pornography of any type is collected and viewed. Consequently a high degree of privacy is necessary
to enjoy the collection, and no other location can provide the level of privacy needed than one?s own
home. Even if family members or roommates share living quarters, the collection can be viewed in a
private room or at times when others are away or asleep. Your af?ant has also learned from training
and personal experience that persons sometimes use work or school computers to help compile a
child pornography collection, but when that occurs, Your af?ant? experience is that the images will
likely be stored on portable computer storage devices and thereafter be transported to the collector?s
residence for private viewing.

7. REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO ANALYZE DIGITAL MEDIA: Furthermore, Af?ant is
seeking to remove the items containing digital evidence for analysis by trained experts.

Based on your affiant? 3 knowledge, training, and experience, and the experience of other law
enforcement personnel with whom your affiant has consulted on this issue, your affiant knows that
effective searches and seizures of evidence from computers commonly require law enforcement to
seize most or all computer items (hardware, software, and instructions) then have these items
processed later by a qualified computer forensic expert in a controlled laboratory environment. This
is true because of the following:

Computer storage devices (hard disks, diskettes, tape, and removable drives) can store the
equivalent of thousands of pages of information. When users desire to conceal criminal evidence,
they often store the information in random order with deceptive file names. Directories and
subdirectories that contain these files can also be electronically hidden from normal view.

Searching computer systems for criminal evidence is a highly technical process requiring
expert skill in a properly controlled environment. The vast array of computer hardware and software
available requires even computer experts to specialize in some systems and applications.

The search of a computer is an exacting scientific procedure which is designed to protect the
integrity of the evidence and to recover even hidden, erased, compressed, password protected, and/ or
files. Since computer evidence may be vulnerable to tampering or destruction from both
external sources or from the form of a ?booby trap,? the controlled environment of a forensic
laboratory is essential to its complete and accurate analysis and retrieval.

In order to fully retrieve data from a computer system, the forensic analyst needs all magnetic

 

storage devices, as well as the central processing unit (CPU).

In addition, the forensic analyst needs all the system software, encoding,
archiving, un?archiving, and security software (operating system, applications, and hardware drivers)
which may have been used to retrieve, store, create, transmit, or encode the data.

8. REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO PHOTOGRAPH OR VIDEO TAPE THE LOCATION
AND EVIDENCE WHERE FOUND:

Based upon affiant?s training and experience, the location, con?guration and connections to
modems or wall outlets provides indicia of how a computer or other processing device has been and
is being used. What is more, the location of the computer within the suspect location will also
provide indicia of ownership, care, custody or control of the computer or other digital storage device.
Finally, affiant is also requesting permission to photograph the location to provide a visual
representation of the surroundings and circumstances in which the above-described offense was
committed. Items of furniture, contraband or other environmentally advantageous circumstances will
also provide evidence of how the offense and evidence of the offense was concealed from others
showing intent and modus operandi. Finally, depictions of the different rooms in the suspect
location are needed to compare backgrounds in photographs to prove location Where image may have
been created. 

WHEREFORE, your Affiant asks for the issuance of a warrant that will authorize him to search
said suspected place and premises and to seize that for which he is directed to search.
