Man who sold child pornography accepted Amazon gift cards as payment

A 30-year-old man has been arrested in San Bernardino County after being found to be in possession of nearly 3,000 child sexual abuse (CSAM) files, authorities said Thursday.

Redlands Police detectives arrested Bradley Clarence Peck on August 13 near his home in the 13300 block of First Avenue in Victorville.

After receiving two cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, detectives searched his home and found numerous electronic devices containing more than 2,950 pieces of child sexual abuse material, according to a Redland Police Department news release.

Authorities determined that the 30-year-old, who works for a company with offices in Redlands and Rancho Cucamonga, used a KIK messenger app to upload illegal material in about 20 transactions with other users.

“Peck sold the images through KIK and other online apps in exchange for Amazon gift cards and cash transactions to his PayPal and Cash App accounts,” the press release said.
