According to the criminal complaint, an FBI agent began an undercover investigation to identify individuals in the Jacksonville area who had access to and/or were trading images and videos depicting child pornography over the Internet.

The agent determined that a computer in the area was hosting images of child pornography using a peer-to-peer file sharing program, according to the complaint. The agent was able to download several files depicting child pornography from the computer.

Further investigation traced the computer to Foreman's home, according to the complaint.

On Oct. 1, law enforcement officers executed a federal search warrant at Foreman's home. They said that during an interview, he admitted to downloading all ages of child pornography.

A search and subsequent analysis of Foreman's computer revealed that it contained a video showing a toddler being sexually assaulted, investigators said. They said they also discovered logs of online conversations between Foreman and at least one other individual, during which Foreman offered to exchange and distribute the video depicting the toddler's abuse.
