II. Review of ESI on the Subject Items¶

Law enforcement personnel (who may include, in addition to law enforcement officers and agents, attorneys for the government, attorney support staff, agency personnel assisting the government in this investigation, and outside technical experts under government control) are authorized to review the ESI contained on the Subject Items for evidence, fruits, and instrumentalities of violations of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1591 (sex trafficking of minors), and 371 (sex trafficking conspiracy) (the “Subject Offenses”) described as follows:¶

1. Any documents or communications with or regarding victims or potential victims of the Subject Offenses;

2. Any photographs of victims or potential victims of the Subject Offenses;

3. Any nude, partially nude, or sexually suggestive photographs of individuals who appear to be teenage girls, or younger;

4. Records, data, or other items that evidence ownership, control, or use of, or access to the Subject Items, including, but not limited to access history data, historical location data,

configuration files, saved usernames and passwords, user profiles, e-mail contacts, and photographs;¶

5. Any child erotica, defined as suggestive visual depictions of nude minors that do not constitute child pornography as defined by 18 U.S.C. §2256(8).

As to Subject Item-1 and Subject Item-2, Law enforcement personnel (who may include, in addition to law enforcement officers and agents, attorneys for the government, attorney support staff, agency personnel assisting the government in this investigation, and outside technical experts under government control) are further authorized to review the ESI contained on Subject Item-1 and Subject Item-2 for evidence, fruits, and instrumentalities of violations of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1591 (sex trafficking of minors), and 371 (sex trafficking conspiracy) (the “Subject Offenses”) described as follows:¶

1. Any documents or communications with or regarding co-conspirators in the Subject Offenses.

In conducting this review, law enforcement personnel may use various techniques to determine which files or other ESI contain evidence or fruits of the Subject Offenses. Such techniques may include, for example:¶

• surveying directories or folders and the individual files they contain (analogous to looking at the outside of a file cabinet for the markings it contains and opening a drawer believed to contain pertinent files);

• conducting a file-by-file review by “opening” or reading the first few “pages” of such files in order to determine their precise contents (analogous to performing a cursory examination of each document in a file cabinet to determine its relevance);

• “scanning” storage areas to discover and possibly recover recently deleted data or deliberately hidden files; and

• performing electronic keyword searches through all electronic storage areas to determine the existence and location of data potentially related to the subject matter of the investigation; and

• reviewing metadata, system information, configuration files, registry data, and any other information reflecting how, when, and by whom the computer was used.

Law enforcement personnel will make reasonable efforts to search only for files, documents, or other electronically stored information within the categories identified in Section II of this Attachment. However, law enforcement personnel are authorized to conduct a complete review of all the ESI from seized devices or storage media if necessary to evaluate its contents and to locate all data responsive to the warrant.¶
