A 63-year-old Oklahoma man is behind bars after admitting to possessing thousands of child pornography images.
Billy Hatch, a resident of Enid, Oklahoma, was charged this week with possession of child pornography under aggravated circumstances after police said they found 2,000 files containing child pornography on his devices. Fox 25 Oklahoma reported.
Police allege that Hatch downloaded a file known to the state’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit, which allowed them to obtain a search warrant.
When police contacted Hatch, they said he wasn’t surprised to see them.
