When transit workers in Boulder, Colorado, opened an unlocked iPhone that had been left on a city bus in May, they were immediately confronted with a disturbing sight.

The phone contained several photos of child pornography, featuring children ranging from infants to pre-teens, according to court documents filed on July 31.

An FBI agent said in an affidavit that the phone and another device that was later obtained had more than 1,000 images and hundreds of videos, and revealed internet searches for a guide on how to gain a child's trust.

Authorities have since arrested 29-year-old Wesley David Gilreath and charged him with possession of child pornography. But in an odd twist, federal prosecutors say the arrest may have also helped prevent an unrelated hate crime or a domestic terror attack.

"The charge in this case demonstrates that the US attorney's office and our federal and state law enforcement partners will use every available law enforcement tool not just to prosecute federal crimes, but also to disrupt and prevent potential hate crimes," Jason Dunn, the US attorney for the District of Colorado, told local media outlets.

In fact, the child pornography investigation wasn't Gilreath's first brush with the FBI. Officers had investigated him in January over an online document titled "Montana Hunting Guide," which targeted Jews, Muslims, a refugee center, and even the Bureau of Land Management and Montana National Guard facilities.

The FBI affidavit said that the "hunting guides" are often used to "violently target individuals or entities with belief systems, identities, ethnicities, religions, political views or other matters antithetical to their own."

Gilreath wasn't immediately arrested at the time, but court documents alleged that in May, roughly five months after the FBI began its investigation, he attempted to buy a gun. He completed a required form from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

On August 6, a federal judge ordered that Gilreath remain in custody without bail, arguing that he displayed more than enough warning signs and that he was a threat to the community.

"He had searches for a book that is a guide to gaining children's trust. He also had numerous white supremacist documents and paraphernalia," US Magistrate Judge Scott Varholak wrote. "He had recently attempted to purchase a gun. He has multiple failures to appear, and a contempt of court conviction."

Varholak continued: "I find there are no conditions or combination of conditions that I can impose to assure the defendant's presence and the safety of the community."

Holy shit. Looks like a slasher movie villain. Maybe even a supernatural one. Look at those dead eyes. They almost seem slitted.

I seriously don't understand how anyone thinks it's a good idea to put child porn on their phone and then take it out in public with them. And then not put a fucking lock on it. How stupid can you possibly be?

Thats the thing about white supremacists, theyre not very smart


Except other people have done the same thing and they weren't white supremacists.

Probably the smartest guy I ever heard of looking at child porn was from a few years ago where he kept computers, hard drives, and cds of it in his barn. I don't know if he ever said it, but my guess is it would be so if the police ever showed up with a warrant to search his house and computer they would find nothing, as who the hell would think to put a barn on the warrant while looking for child porn? The only reason he got caught is because a couple of teenagers trespassed onto his property and broke into his barn and found it while going through his shit. But he most likely escaped any charges as it wasn't legally found and police only became aware of it from another crime. I just wonder if he resisted the urge to ever try it again as he would be caught for sure if he started all over.
