Eswar Rao Akula jailed after police discover google account with over 200 files of child sexual abuse material

25-year-old Eswar Rao Akula was identified as the owner of a Google account with several files of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on June 5^th. Officers received four cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), stating that the same Google account with the name “Eswar Rao” connected to Akula’s phone number had over 100 files of CSAM. Then, Google provided a Comcast Cable IP address to log into or upload the CSAM files to his account.

Officers later confirmed the IP address was assigned to Akula’s Church Street Apartment address after locating his driver’s license. A search warrant was sent to Google for the full content of the account. Then, officers found over 200 CSAM files showing prepubescent girls engaged in sexual activity. One video showed what appeared to be a toddler-aged female, who was still wearing a diaper, performing fellatio on an adult. Akula was then taken into custody for the sexual exploitation of a minor on August 8^th.
