From a court document in Udall’s case:

“During a time period before and including the time between January 1, 2018 and January 22, 2019, at my home in the District of Arizona, I, JORDAN THOMAS UDALL, possessed a Dell laptop computer, with serial number [redacted], and one Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer, with serial number [redacted]. I used the computers and the internet to access and download images which depicted minor children engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The files I accessed and viewed included, but were not limited to, the following files entitled:

“[redacted]_Carved.jpeg”

“[redacted] Carved.jpeg” “[redacted] Carved.jpeg”

“[redacted] Carved.jpeg” “[redacted] Carved.jpeg”

“[redacted] Carved.jpeg” “[redacted] Carved.jpeg”

“[redacted] Carved.jpeg” “[redacted] Carved.jpeg” and

“[redacted] Carved.jpeg”

These files, as well as other files I accessed and viewed over time, contain images of actual children who were under the age of 18 at the time the images were created, engaging in various acts of sexually explicit conduct. Many of the images and videos I viewed depicted children well under the age of 12. The images had been mailed, shipped and transported in interstate or foreign commerce and were also produced using materials that had been mailed and shipped and transported in interstate and foreign commerce.

I used my computer and the internet to access and view over 600 files depicting child pornography. I knew these images depicted children engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

IN ADDITION TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS TO WHICH I AGREE, I SWEAR UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY THAT THE FACTS IN THE “FACTUAL BASIS” PARAGRAPH ABOVE ARE TRUE.
