According to the criminal complaint filed, police were called on June 25 about a hard drive their teen allegedly got from Grant, which contained several files and photos of child pornography. The teen allegedly gagged when they saw the files.

The lawsuit says Grant never let them use the computer without his permission. However, the next morning, the teens turned on the computer while Grant was sleeping and allegedly found folders filled with pornographic images of children, including photos with the name “Uncle Donny.”

Grant allegedly sent the teenager text messages expressing anger at finding his computer turned on and demanding to know where his USB drive was, the lawsuit says.

Police said a search of the USB drive found more than 90 pornographic photos of underage children, including several photos of a young girl from the 1970s whose face had been photoshopped onto “clearly underage” nude bodies, the complaint said. It also found there were files of young children being forced to perform sexual acts with animals.
