Aug 23

Investigators with the Redlands Police Department arrested Bradley Clarence Peck on Aug. 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 served a search warrant at his residence, recovering numerous electronic devices containing more than 2,950 of CSAM, a Redland PD news release stated.  

Authorities determined that the 30-year-old, who works for a company with locations in Redlands and Rancho Cucamonga, used a KIK messenger app to upload the illicit material in approximately 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 release noted.
