NICOLE KWASNAZA, being duly sworn, deposes and says that she (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 18, 2024)
Kyle White is charged with advertising and distributing child pornography through Telegram channels known as 'The Ho Zone' to earn revenue via digital payment platforms.
Kyle White faces charges under 18 U.S.C. §§ 2251 and 2252A for operating a Telegram-based network to sell access to sexually explicit content of minors. The scheme involved over $117,000 in deposits to his bank account and transactions through platforms like Venmo and cryptocurrency. Investigations revealed White managed channels containing thousands of files, including content featuring victims as young as 11.
From September 2022 through December 2023, Kyle White operated 'The Ho Zone' on Telegram to advertise and distribute child pornography. White utilized digital payment methods, including Venmo and cryptocurrency, to sell access to channels containing thousands of sexually explicit images and videos of minors. An undercover FBI operation confirmed the scheme when an agent purchased access to child pornography channels for $135. Financial evidence linked White to the operation, showing over $117,000 deposited into his Republic Bank account. Furthermore, a search warrant led to the seizure of devices containing over 3,773 files of sexually explicit content involving minors. White is charged with violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2251(d)(1)(A), (d)(2), (e) and 2252A(a)(2)(B) and (b)(1).

(Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2252A(a)(2)(B) and
(b )(1 ).)
The bases for my lmowledge and for the foregoing charges are,
in part, as follows:
3. I am a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau oflnvestigation ("FBI"). I have been
employed by the FBI since June 2017, first
as an FBI Honors Intern, next as an Information
Technology Specialist/Forensic Examiner, and now
as a Special Agent. I have been a Special
Agent since December 2022. During my career with FBI, I have participated
in criminal
investigations involving cybercrime, fraud, child exploitation, and counte1ierrorism. I have been
personally involved
in the investigation of this matter. I base this affidavit on that experience and
on training I have received, on my conversations with other law enforcement officers, and on my
examination
of various repmis and records, including electronic evidence. Because this affidavit
is being submitted for the limited purpose of demonstrating probable cause, it does not include all
the facts I have learned during the course
of my investigation. Where the contents of documents
and the actions, statements, and conversations
of others are repmied herein, they are repo1ied in
substance and
in part, except where otherwise indicated.
"The Ho Zone"
4. Based on my review of the Telegram website and my h·aining and experience, I
have learned that Telegram
is a free, cloud-based mobile and desktop messaging application with
over 700 million monthly active users.
1
Telegram users can send messages, photos, videos, and
other files,
as well as create groups for up to 200,000 members, or channels for broadcasting to
audiences
of unlimited size. Telegram groups can be public or private, and there is a setting
allowing group administrators to permit or prevent group members' access
to messages in the
group that pre-date when a member joins. According to the Telegram website, group
administrators can "pin important messages to the top
of the screen so that all members can see
them, including those who have just joined." An administrator can add people
to a Telegram group
via his contacts list, searching
by username, or sending an invite link. "Anyone who has Telegram
installed will be able
to join [ a] group by following [that] link." Separately, Telegram channels
"are a tool for broadcasting messages
to large audiences," and channels can have "an unlimited
number
of subscribers." New subscribers can see the entire message history in a channel once
they join. Like groups, channels can be public or private. "Private channels are closed
societies-
you need to be added by the owner or get an invite link to join."
5. Based on my pa1iicipation in this investigation and my review of Telegram, I have
learned, among other things, the following:
a. "The Ho Zone" is a Telegram group that on or about November 8, 2023 had
approximately 10,272 members, 1,077 photos, 1,041 videos, and 364 shared links. The
administrators
of The Ho Zone are "THZ Admin (Check Bio)" with handle @THZAdmin
.
1
See telegram.org/faq and telegram.org/faq_ channels.
2
(hereinafter, "THZ Admin"), and "RemovejoinGroupMsgBot" with handle @Bot442.
2
A
screenshot containing information about The
Ho Zone group is below.
3
b. THZ Admin is a Telegram user with a profile picture that says, "THE HO
ZONE ADMIN." The bio for THZ Admin states: "Tap the button at the bottom to join my free
group T.me/thzmarket." Below is a screenshot
of user information for THZ Admin.
2
According to open-source information, "RemovejoinGroupMsgBot" is a bot that automatically
removes messages populated when users join or leave a group.
3
Each screenshot in this Complaint was taken by me or another law enforcement officer when we
viewed publicly available groups and channels on The Ho Zone from our computers and/or phones
while located in New York, New York. Unless otherwise stated, when we captured these images,
we were viewing The Ho Zone
as members of the public who had "joined" The Ho Zone. No
payments or approvals were required in order for
us to gain access.
3
c. The website T.me/thzmarket links to the Telegram channel "The Ho Zone
Market." The Ho Zone Market was created on October 6, 2022. As
of on or about September 18,
2023, The Ho Zone Market had over 3,400 subscribers, and as of on or about November 8, 2023,
The
Ho Zone Market had approximately 3,610 subscribers. The Ho Zone Market channel is pa1t
of The Ho Zone group. In addition to linking to The Ho Zone Market, THZ Admin also posts in
the main The Ho Zone group.
the following:
d. The
Ho Zone group has dozens of channels, including, but not limited to,
Other Teen (18+) Leaks
MOST POPULAR GIRLS LISTS
PAYMENT GUIDE & MORE INFO!
Tiktoker Private Leaks
ATHLEAKS
Other Onlyfans Girls
4
Tiny Tits Onlyfans

Old Leaks + New Onlyfans
e. As fmther explained below, The Ho Zone sells access to sexually explicit
photographs and videos
of minors and adult women without their consent, and the above-listed
channels categorize the type
of material for sale on The Ho Zone. The Ho Zone group is open to
4
OnlyFans is an 18+ subscription platform in which individuals can sell access to their private,
and often sexual, content.
4
the public. Below is a screenshot of some of the channels available within The Ho Zone group,
with references to names or monikers
of victims omitted to protect their privacy.
f. Within The Ho Zone channels, customers can purchase access to sexually
explicit photographs and videos
of dozens of women and girls who are listed by name. For
example, a pinned message from THZ Admin on the "MOST POPULAR GIRLS LISTS" channel
advertises this channel as "[ e ]very girl I have
so far." THZ Admin directs users to click on the
names of specific women and girls "to go directly to their free preview with prices." THZ Admin
tells users that
if they "can't find a preview for them or if [they're] looking for rare leaks," they
should "DM," or send a direct message, to @THZadmin. Below are screenshots listing only some,
but not all,
of the women and girls whose sexual images and videos are for sale on The Ho Zone
channel "MOST POPULAR GIRLS LISTS." Specifically, the below images list victim names
in
alphabetical order showing only a pmiion of A through C on the left, and only a pmiion of N
through T on the right. The names or monikers
of victims have been omitted in these images to
protect their privacy. Each
of these victim names or monikers links to a separate channel within
The Ho Zone.
5
g. When a Telegram user clicks on the name of a specific woman or girl, the
user is directed to a separate channel filled with content specific to that individual woman or girl.
Each channel includes a variety
of free and often publicly available content as a preview of what
a user will get
if they pay money for full access. The free channel preview also typically includes
a description
of what additional sexually explicit content the user will get if they pay.
h. For instance, The Ho Zone channel selling stolen, sexually explicit content
of one young adult woman who is well known on social media platforms including TikTok
5
and
Instagram
6
("Victim-I") includes free photographs in which Victim-I is fully clothed • (the
"Victim-I Channel"). The description for the Victim-I Channel states, "Only place u can get the
full [Victim-I] leaks set."
7
As on or about of January 3, 2024, the Victim-I Channel containing
free content has approximately 4,387 subscribers. The price for access
to the paid Victim-I
5
TikTok is a social media application where users can post short-form videos.
6
Instagram is a social media application where users can post photos and sh01i-form videos.
7
From my participation in this investigation, conversations with witnesses, conversations with
other members
of law enforcement, and review of records, I have learned that in or around August
2022, the cellphone
of Victim-I was unlawfully accessed via a social engineering scheme, and
private, sexually explicit photographs and videos
of Victim-I and others, including Victim-1 's
sexual pa1iners, were stolen from Victim-1
's Snapchat application on her cellphone. Snapchat is
a multimedia instant messaging application that features photos and videos that disappear after a
message recipient views the message. There
is no evidence to suggest that KYLE WHITE, the
defendant, hacked Victim-1
's cellphone.
6
Channel was previously $75 and was then offered on sale for $45. As of on or about January 3,
2024, the paid Victim- I Channel has approximately 75 subscribers.
8
A message on the Victim-I
Channel advertises, "Has abt 4 mins
w01th of her sucking dick and getting fucked in all positions.
(My compilations/edits and the OG files inc) plus 50 more new extremely rare [flames emoji] nude
pics/vids[.]" The message fu1ther states, "This
is the only FULL original in HD with the OG leaks
and edits/enhancements I spent hours making. Not some trash recordings from a phone[.]"
According
to an icon at the bottom right of the message, this particular message was seen by
approximately 115,300 people.
i. Another message
on the Victim-I Channel includes information on "[h]ow
to pay"
as "[p]roof I'll actually add u and this isn't some scam," which links to
http://t.me/NSFTTpaymentguide.
9
This link connects users to a channel with over 1,000
subscribers called "Payment Guide," with handle @NSFTTPaymentGuide, with a profile picture
stating, "THE HO ZONE PAYMENT GUIDE" (the "Payment Guide Channel" or "Payment
Guide"). The Payment Guide Channel was created on or about July 27, 2022. Below
is a

of the Payment Guide Channel information.

As explained fmther below in Paragraph 22, I know information about the paid Victim-I Channel
because an undercover FBI agent purchased access to it, and I have personally reviewed
it.

Google search results indicate that ''NSFTT" is an abbreviation for "Not safe for TikTok."
According
to the TikTok Community Guidelines, "Nudity, pornography, or sexually explicit
content are not allowed on our platform. Any content that depicts or supports non-consensual
sexual acts, [and] the sharing
of non-consensual intimate imagery ... are strictly prohibited." See

6. Based on my participation in this investigation and my review of publicly available
webpages, I know that the first result in a Google search of "NSFTT"
is the website
https://nsftt.com, called "@TheHoZone," adve1tising "Onlyfans girls, Teen leaks, Tiktokers, and
more! Tap here to pay." Below

7. Based on my participation in this investigation and my review of publicly available
webpages, I know that the @TheHoZone website (https://nsftt.com) links directly
to The Ho Zone
Telegram groups and channels, including t.me/THZmarket and t.me/NSFTTPaymentGuide.
Below is a screenshot
of the @TheHoZone website.
8. Based on my paiticipation in this investigation and my review of Telegram, I know
that the Payment Guide Channel (t.me/NSFTTPaymentGuide) features numerous posts about The
Ho Zone
in a question-and-answer format. Below are some of these posts, with screenshots from
the Payment Guide Channel.
8
a. "What am I buying exactly? Permanent access to a Telegram Channel that
I made where I upload all
of their content. Everything is organized and in HD."
b. "What are the prices? All the prices are listed next to the girl's names in
their preview in T.me/thzmarket."
c. "How long does it take to get the link? I should send it immediately. If not,
I'm prob just asleep and I'll send it when I wake up."
d. "I found leaks so why would I pay you? l. Leaks don't usually have new
content and I buy shit myself too that u
won't find elsewhere[.] 2. You have to download it all
and it's often uncropped and/or LQ. Mine have everything cropped and enhanced (Ifnec) already
uploaded and sorted for.you[.]
3. Most include my own custom edits and compilations."
9
e. "What happens ifit gets taken down? It won't be it's just a small private
group, but I have everything backed up on a separate acct just in case
so even if it did, I'll just
make another one."
f. "What if/ accidentally leave/delete them? If you need me to send you the
links again you have
to pay again (not full price). You can Copy and paste them in your notes app
or somethin to avoid this."
g. "Can I get in Legal Trouble for this? No, the only one who possibly could
is me for sharing it."
9. Based on my paiticipation in this investigation and my review of Telegram, I have
learned, among other things, the following:
a. "THZ Black Market" is another channel associated with The Ho Zone. I
believe that "THZ" is an abbreviation for "The Ho Zone." As
of in or around August 2023, THZ
Black Market had 759 subscribers, 119 photos, and 56 videos. As of on or about September 8,
2023, THZ Black Market was no longer accessible to the public on Telegram. Below is a
screenshot
of the information about this channel before it was taken down, taken on or about
August 17, 2023.
b. THZ Black Market includes the link to the same Payment Guide Channel
connected
to other channels of The Ho Zone: http://t.me/NSFTTPaymentGuide. Below is a
screenshot.
c. Material for sale on the THZ Black Market is adve1iised to be the product
of blackmail or coercion. For instance, as of August 2023, the THZ Black Market channel
advertised the following:
1. " [Victim-2]: $15 Full video call where she's made to str·ip and crying and
the rest
of her [emoji] super rare BM leaks."
ii. "[Victim-3]: $15 a 22 min video call where she reluctantly follows orders
to strip and masturbate. Plus 2 riding vids & more."
11
iii. "[Victim-4 and Victim-SJ: $35 Inc live video calls and convos [Victim-4]
and her friend where she does whatever her blaclanailer (Snapgod) teller
her."10
1v. "[Victim-6]: $25 Girl blaclanailed into filming sextapes with her BF, pussy
& anal fingering, pissing, and more."
v. "[Victim-7]: $10 Cute girl blaclanailed into fucking her ass."
d. "Other Teen (18+) Leaks" is another channel to which The Ho Zone sells
access
to s·exually explicit content of minors, and adult women without their consent. As of on or
about September
8, 2023, Other Teen (18+) Leaks has nearly 10,000 members, 212 photos, and
144 videos. A screenshot of the information for this channel is below.
e. On or about July 30, 2023, THZ Admin posted the following message on
the Other Teen (18+) Leaks channel:
"Legal Disclaimer: These girls are all 18+ as far as I know.
Some just look young but if you know of any who are actually UA
11
lmk. Also I didn't hack,
blaclanail or get any
of this content directly from the girls myself so it's not illegal." A screenshot
of this message is below.
10
Based on my participation in this investigation and open-source information, "Snapgod" is a
known moniker for a specific group
of individuals who ext01i and blaclanail women and minors
on the internet into recording sexually explicit content against their will.
11
"UA" is a commonly known abbreviation for "underage."
12
10. Based on my paiticipation in this investigation and my review of Telegram, I know
that despite this "legal disclaimer," the Other Teen (18+) Leaks channel does in fact sell access to
sexually explicit images and videos
of minors.
a. For example, as of in or around September 2023, the Other Teen (18+)
Leaks channel advertises the sale
of material depicting a certain minor victim ("Minor Victim-1 ").
The cost for access is $25 and the description reads: "Pait of THZ BLACK MARKET," and "THZ
BLACK MARKET"
is hyperlinked. Through conversations with other law enforcement officers
and
as fmther described below, I have learned that Minor Victim-I is a minor in the material
available for purchase
on the "Other Teen (18+) Leaks" channel.
b. As of in or around September 2023, the Other Teen (18+) Leaks channel
also advertises the sale
of material depicting a different minor victim ("Minor Victim-2"). The.
cost for access
is $25 and the description reads: "Long Video Calls, upclose pussy fingering, naked
Tiktoks, and much more." Through conversations with other law enforcement officers and
as
fmther described below, I have learned that Minor Victim-2 is a minor in the material available
for purchase
on the Other Teen (18+) Leaks channel.
c. As of in or around September 2023, the Other Teen (18+) Leaks channel
also adve1tises the sale of material depicting an additional minor victim ("Minor Victim-3"). The
cost for access
is $25 and the description reads: "Blackmailed into getting fingered by and sucking
her little brother's dick. Rough pussy/anal masturbation and much more shit." Through
conversations with other law enforcement officers and
as fmther described below, I have learned
that Minor Victim-3 is a minor in the material available for purchase on the Other Teen (18+)
Leaks channel.
KYLE WHITE is the Owner and Operator of The Ho Zone
11. As further detailed below, there is probable cause to believe that KYLE WHITE,
the defendant,
is the owner and operator of The Ho Zone group and its associated accounts, groups,
and channels, including the accounts, groups, and channels advertising and selling access to
sexually explicit images and videos
of minors.
12. Based on my participation in this investigation and my review of Telegram, I know
that The Ho Zone Payment Guide Channel contains a link connecting users
to another channel
called "PAYMENT GUIDE & MORE INFO!" The "PAYMENT GUIDE & MORE INFO!"
13
channel includes a message posted on or about June 18, 2023 by THZ Admin regarding how users
can pay for premium access on The
Ho Zone. "Current Payment Methods" include: (1) Apple Pay

13. Based on my paiiicipation in this investigation and my review of Telegram, I know
the cryptocurrency instructions in the above message fmiher link
to

14. As depicted above, the payment instructions provided by THZ Payment Portal as
of April 22, 2023 include the option to pay for The Ho Zone material using online payment
platform Cash App, and specifically directs users to send funds
to cash.app/TheHoZone2
("TheHoZone2 Cash App Account").
a. Records obtained from Block, Inc.
-the entity that owns Cash App-reflect
that the TheHoZone2 Cash App Account was created on or about Octo_ber 4, 2022. Using the date
of bi1th and social security number provided by the owner of the TheHoZone2 Cash App Account,
Block was able to verify the identity of the owner to be "Kyle White." There have been three
display names used by the TheHoZone2 Cash App Account: (1) "Kyle White"; (2) "HoZone"; and
(3) "THZ." Aliases and phone numbers associated with the TheHoZone2 Cash App Account
include, among others: "thehozone2"; "kwhitcash12"; "kwhitcashl l ";
[email protected], and a phone number ending in -4595 (the "4595 Number").
b. The records obtained from Block reflect that there are two addresses
associated with TheHoZone2 Cash App Account: (1) a Louisville, Kentucky address where KYLE
WHITE, the defendant, resides (the "Louisville Address");
13
and (2) an Albuquerque, New Mexico
13
I know that the Louisville Address belongs to WHITE because, among other reasons, as further
discussed below, on September 19, 2023, I paiiicipated in the execution
of a search warrant at the
Louisville Address, confirmed that WHITE resides there, and interviewed WHITE during the
15
address which belongs to fictional television character Walter White, the high-school-chemistry-
teacher-turned-narcotics-kingpin played by actor Bryan Cranston in the hit AMC television series
Breaking Bad. Additional records indicate that WHITE has also used the alias "Walter White" in
dealings with Block.
c. Records obtained from Google show that [email protected]
email address associated with the TheHoZone2 Cash App Account-
is an account belonging to
"Kyle White." The recovery SMS phone number for this Google account is the 4595 Number.
d. Block records link the TheHoZone2 Cash App Account to a card issued by
Sutton Bank. Records provided by Sutton Bank identify an account owner named "Kyle Stephen
White" who resides at the Louisville Address. Transaction information from Sutton Bank reflects
transactions with OnlyFans, Cash App, Apple Pay, and Venmo.
e. Block records further link the TheHoZone2 Cash App Account to a bank
account at Republic Bank and Trust Company ("Republic Bank"). Records provided by Republic
Bank indicate that the owner
of the relevant bank account is "Kyle White," who resides at the
Louisville Address, and whose cellphone is the 4595 Number. The Republic Bank records include
account statements from in or around July 2016 through in or around June 2023. Between
approximately February 2023 and June 2023, approximately $117,117.53 was deposited
by "Cash
App THZ" into WHITE's Republic Bank account.
15. Based on my participation in this investigation and my review of Telegram, I know
that the payment instructions provided
by the THZ Payment Portal as of August 7, 2023 include
the option to pay for The Ho Zone material using Apple Pay or Zelle, and the THZ Payment Portal
directs users to send such payments to [email protected].
a. Records obtained from Google identify the owner of
[email protected] to be "Kyle White."
b. Records obtained from Apple identify [email protected] as an
additional email associated with [email protected], which is owned by "Kyle White" of the
Louisville Address.
14
Two phone numbers are associated with the Apple account, one of which is
the 4595 Number.
16. Based on my paiiicipation in this investigation and my review of Telegram, I know
that the payment instructions provided
by "THZ Payment Po1ial" as of August 7, 2023 also include
the option to pay for The Ho Zone material using cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Specifically, users who wish to pay in Bitcoin are directed to a patiicular BTC wallet, and users
who wish
to pay in Ethereum are directed to a particular ETH wallet. Records obtained from
cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase indicate the same account information associated
execution
of the search. In addition, WHITE's valid Kentucky driver's license indicates that his
home address
is the Louisville Address.
14
I know that the email account [email protected] belongs to KYLE WHITE, the defendant,
because on November 20, 2023, WHITE sent me an email from this account which stated in part,
"Hey this Kyle White. We met a couple months ago when you executed a search warrant
.... "
16
with both the particular BTC and ETH wallets referenced above. Both cryptocurrency wallets are
owned
by "Kyle White" of the Louisville Address, who uses the 4595 Number.
17. An open-source search of Venmo, using identifiers associated with the
TheHoZone2 Cash App Account, resulted in the discovery ofVenmo account "TheHo Zone" (the
"TheHo Zone Venmo Account"
).
a. Records obtained from Pay Pal, Inc.-the owner of Venmo-reflect three
account numbers associated with the TheHo Zone Venmo Account. Each account number
is
owned by first name "TheHo," last name "Zone." The phone number provided to PayPal by
"TheHo Zone" is the 4595 Number. Email addresses associated with the TheHo Zone Venmo
account include [email protected], [email protected], and
kwhitukl 2+ l @gmail.com.
b. PayPal records show financial transactions on the TheHo Zone Venmo
Account, under one account number, from
in or around August 2022 through in or around
September 2022, and under a second account number, from in or around October2022 through in
or around December 2022. The third account number remained active at least through January
2023. Transaction notes from all three account numbers associated with TheHo Zone Venmo
Account include the names
of women and girls listed on the "MOST POPULAR GIRLS LISTS"
channel.
18. Further open-source searching of Venmo resulted in the discovery of Venmo
account "thzl23" (the "thzl23 Venmo Account").
a. Records obtained from PayPal indicate that thz123 Venmo Account was
created in June 2023 and·remained active
as of September 2023.
b. Records obtained from Pay Pal identify one account number associated with
the thzl23 Venmo Account. The account owner
is "Kyle White" of the Louisville Address with
email [email protected].
15
c. Transaction notes from the thz123 Venmo Account include "Telegram,"
"Tele," "TG," "Services," and "Fee payment." Transaction notes also include the names
of women•
and girls listed on the "MOST POPULAR GIRLS LISTS" channel.
19. Based in my pa1ticipation in this investigation, I know that on or about September
18, 2023, the Honorable Colin
H. Lindsay, United States Magistrate Judge, Western District of
Kentucky, signed a search warrant authorizing the search of the premises located at the Louisville
Address and the search
of the person of KYLE WHITE, the defendant (the "WDKY Warrant").
As noted above in Footnote
13, on or about September 19, 2023, I personally participated in the
execution
of the WDKY Warrant at the Louisville Address. During the execution of the WDKY
Warrant, a OnePlus 7TPro cellphone was seized from the person
of WHITE (the "White Phone"),
15
The phone number associated with this account ends in -2796 (the "2796 Number").
17
and a Samsung S8 Tablet was seized from a TV tray inside of the Louisville Address (the "White
Tablet").
16
20. Based on my review of the electronic contents of the White Phone, I have learned
the following:
a. The call number associated with the White Phone is the 4595 Number.
b. The name
of the hotspot on the White Phone is "Kyle's Hotspot."
c. Hundreds of user accounts are connected to the White Phone. These

x. Telegram identifier "5242630950," among others.
d. The THZ Admin Telegram account, including groups and channels
associated with The Ho Zone,
is accessible from the White Phone.
21. Based on my review
of the electronic contents of the White Tablet, I have learned
the following:
16
The White Phone and the White Tablet are just two of numerous devices that were seized during
the execution of the WDKY Warrant.
17
As shown in the screenshot in Paragraph 13 above, WishTender is one method of payment
accepted by The Ho Zone.
18
a. Hundreds of user accounts are connected to the White Tablet. These
include, for example:
1. Reddit usernames "kwhituk12", "[email protected]", "nsfttadmin,"

Undercover Purchase of Child Pornography
22. Based on my conversations with other law enforcement officers and my review of
law enforcement rep01ts, communications, images, videos, and other data, I know that on or about
September 18, 2023-before the execution of the WDKY Warrant, and at a time when KYLE
WHITE, the defendant, still possessed all
of his devices-an undercover FBI agent (the "UC")
made a purchase
of child pornography from The Ho Zone (the "Controlled Buy").
a. At the time of the Conh·olled Buy, the UC was located in New York, New
York.
b. In keeping with the instructions on The Ho Zone Payment Guide, the UC
sent $135
on Venmo to the thz123 Venmo Account. Below is a screenshot of this Venmo payment
taken by the UC, which lists "Kyle White"
as the user of the thzl23 Venmo Account.
19
•
I
Kyle White
{i~lht123 • 2 friends
V Pay or Request
You poid Kylo Whito · $135.00
c. Next, the UC sent a screenshot of the Venmo transaction as proof of
payment to THZ Admin and requested access to the following five paid channels:
1. Minor Victim-1, which costs $25;
11. Minor Victim-2, which costs $25;
111. Minor Victim-3, which costs $25;
1v. Victim-1, which costs $45; and
v. A semi-professional female athlete ("Victim-8"), which costs $15 .
18
d. Within 12 minutes after the UC sent proof of payment and requested access
to these channels, THZ Admin granted the UC access to all five channels by sending the UC links
to each paid channel on Telegram. Below is a screenshot
of the chat between THZ Admin and the
UC, which was taken
by the UC. The username of the UC, the names and monikers of victims,
and portions
of the links have been redacted.
18
Based on my review of open-source news a1ticles, I know that when Victim-8 was 23 years old,
an unknown individual hacked Victim-S's email address, changed her iCloud password, and
subsequently leaked sexually explicit videos Victim-8 had made with a sexual paitner when she
was
18 years old. There is no evidence to suggest that KYLE WHITE, the defendant, hacked
Victim-S's email address. In addition to The Ho Zone, Victim-S's intimate videos were posted on
pornographic websites without her consent.

e. Based on my review of the electronic contents of the White Phone, I know
that this two-person Telegram message between the UC and THZ Admin
is on the White Phone.
The chats the
UC received from the THZ Admin user appear in the message thread on the White
Phone as being sent by Telegram user "5242630950." As discussed above
in Paragraphs 20 and
21, "5242630950" is a Telegram identifier associated with WHITE.
23. Based on my review
of the Ho Zone Telegram channel featuring Minor Victim-I
(the "Minor Victim-I Channel"), I know that on or about September 18, 2023, the Minor Victim-
1 Channel had
98 subscribers, which means that 98 people at that time had access to the child
pornography depicted on the channel. The Minor Victim-I Channel was created on or about
December
3, 2022.
a. The content on the Minor Victim-I Channel depicts a minor girl (Minor
Victim-I) and a minor boy ("Minor Victim-4") engaging in sex acts with each other. The content
also depicts Minor Victim-I engaging in sex acts with herself.
21
b. Based on conversations I have had with other law enforcement officers
familiar with the content
on the Minor Victim-I Channel, I know that at the time the content was
created, Minor Victim-I was approximately
15 years old, and Minor Victim-4 was her younger
brother, who was approximately
11 years old.
24. Based
on my review of the Ho Zone Telegram channel featuring Minor Victim-2
(the "Minor Victim-2 Channel"), I know that on or about September 18, 2023, the Minor Victim-
2 Channel had
41 subscribers, which means that 41 people at that time had access to the child
pornography depicted
on the channel. The Minor Victim-2 Channel was created on or about
October 13, 2022.
a. The content on the Minor Victim-2 Channel depicts a minor girl (Minor
Victim-2) engaging in sex acts with herself.
b. Based on conversations I have had with other law enforcement officers
familiar with the content on the Minor Victim-2 Channel,
I know that at the time the content was
created, Minor Victim-2 was approximately
14 to 16 years old.
25. Based on my review
of the Ho Zone Telegram channel featuring Minor Victim-3
(the "Minor Victim-3 Channel"), I know that
on or about September 18, 2023, the Minor Victim-
3 Channel had
80 subscribers, which means that 80 people at that time had access to the child
pornography depicted on the channel. The Minor Victim-3 Channel was created on or about
September 29, 2022.
a. The content on the Minor Victim-3 Channel depicts a minor girl (Minor
Victim-3) performing sex acts on a minor boy ("Minor Victim-5"). The content also depicts Minor
Victim-3 engaging
in sex acts with herself.
b. Based on conversations I have had with other law enforcement officers
familiar with the content
on the Minor Victim-3 Channel, I know that at the time the content was
created, Minor Victim-3 was approximately
15 years old, and Minor Victim-5 was her younger
brother, who was approximately
13 years old.
KYLE WIDTE Knowingly Advertised and Sold Child Pornography
26. As described below, I believe KYLE WHITE, the defendant, knew that what he
advertised, sold, and gave people access to on The Ho Zone included child pornography.
27. As described fmiher above in Paragraph 10( c ), the description
.on The Ho Zone of
the Minor Victim-3 Channel includes the following: "Blackmailed into getting fingered by and
sucking her little brother's dick." I believe this reference to "little brother" indicates that WHITE
has viewed this content and believes it to show a minor male child engaging in sexually explicit
conduct.
28. Based on
my participation in this investigation and my paiiicipation in the
execution of the WDKY Warrant, I know that during tμe execution of the WDKY Warrant, the
FBI seized a laptop from the residence
of KYLE WHITE, the defendant. A one-terabyte external
drive was plugged in to the laptop at the time
of the search (the "White Drive").
22
29. Based on my review of the electronic contents of the White Drive, I have learned,
among other things, the following:
a. The White Drive contains a subfolder called "CoolPpl." The "CoolPpl"
folder contains approximately 3,773 files, which consist largely
of videos.
b. Although I did not open every file in the "CoolPpl" folder, I opened a
sampling
of approximately 100 files. Each file that I opened appeared to contain sexually explicit
depictions
of minors. Some files contained videos and images of individuals who appeared to be
teenagers and could potentially
be over 18 years of age, but many of the files appeared to contain
obvious, prepubescent minors, including toddlers.
c. Some of the file names in the " CoolPpl" folder are nondescript, but many
of them suggest that the files contain sexually explicit depictions of minors. For instance, just
some
of the file names include: "teen vids," "2 white tods,"
19
"adolescent," "cp nifia mamanda a
hombre adolescente,"
20
"my granddaughter," and "mom and son first try."
30. Based on my participation in the review
of the electronic contents of the White
Phone, I have learned, among other things, the following:
a. The White Phone contains a note that was created on or about April 8, 2023
and modified on June 14, 2023. In relevant part, the note reads:
[T]hroughout the vid
...
say Kyle everytime [sic] (most important pa1t) . ...
Tell me to cum FOR (not on) your tiny little 15 yr old boobies and body and shake your
ass for me .
...
Say "we love you kyle" then make out and then "say we love you soo much kyle"
Suck on each other's nipples
....
But most imp01tantly I want you to say my name ALOT [sic] in the vids. Say things like:
Cum for me/us Kyle
Jerk
off for me/us Kyle
You like that/my titties/pussy Kyle?
Ur such a good boy Kyle
I love you Kyle
21
19
I believe "tods" is a reference to the word "toddlers."
20
According to Google Translate, this Spanish phrase roughly translates to "cp girl blowjob teen
man." Even assuming that KYLE WHITE, the defendant, has
no knowledge of Spanish and did
not consult Google Translate or another translation service, the Spanish word for "adolescent"
is
only one letter different from the English word. Moreover, this file name contains the words "cp,"
which
is a commonly known abbreviation for "child pornography."
21
Based on my training and experience, I believe that this appears to be a script or instructions
given by KYLE WHITE, the defendant, to a minor or multiple minors directing the minor/minors
to create a sexually explicit video.
To date, law enforcement has not recovered such a video.
23
b. On or about December 26, 2022, WHITE exchanged the following

24
I believe this is a reference to The Ho Zone Other Teen (18+) Leaks channel.
25
I believe this is a reference to The Ho Zone THZ Black Market channel.

27
Cuz
that'd cut my earnings in half
Nah bro leaks are fine 18+
to your knowledge. As long as you're pretty
sure they're solid don't worry about
it.
Then I can use the ole "officer I swear I thought she was 18" defense lmao
As long
as you genuinely believe it and do your due diligence to make sure
It's still gotta be illegal for me to sell em without their consent even
if they
are
18 tho, right? Like I'm breakin the law regardless
It
is but it isn't get murdered in jail illegal
I'll take em down from the market but I'm not gonna delete the actual
channels cuz ppl already paid for those
As long
as I'm not advertising them publicly no one will know they even
exist
f. On or about April 12, 2023, WHITE exchanged the following messages on

Oh shit, where is the family portrait and how old was he
[Image file]
Shit that's crazy, how old was her brother
No clue but
he looks pretty young
Do you have anymore blackmail sets besides the ones already listed
27
I believe "OF" is an abbreviation for Only Fans.
26
WHITE: Yeah a bunch
Indiv-5: And what about more sister and brother
WHITE: Might have a couple somewhere. Thise [sic] are harder
to find
On or about August
3, 2023, WHITE notified Individual-5, "I got more" blackmail and/or
sister and brother videos.
h. On or about April 28, 2023, WHITE sent the following message on
Telegram to Individual-4, in relevant part: "No UA girl has ended
up on [Website-I] be of me and
I only sold like
15 of em not 150."
i. On or about June 22, 2023, WHITE exchanged the following messages on
Telegram with another Telegram user ("Individual-6" or "Indiv-6"):
Indiv-6:

j. On or about June 27, 2023, Individual-4 sent the following message on
Telegram to WHITE: "Well you ran a reasonably successful online emporium. That took some

"I've made over 300k in the first year. That's an understatement
lol[.]"
k. Between on or about July 24, 2023 and July 26, 2023, after an individual

I'd just have to get a good lawyer but there's no real evidence I sold CP or
did anything illegal
You might get exposed to a civil suit
THZ after dark or whatever
is iffy though
I'm like 95% sure some of the girls like [Minor Victim-7] have UA shit
Yeah put [sic] can u prove that that's the case and that ik abt it in a comi
of law
I think
so. You had a THZ cashapp at one time
trust me, you're not in a precarious state legally, but you wouldn't
be
bulletproofed against criminal proceedings
Ifhe actually does alert the FBI to me that could be bad tho
Is there anything
in there abt how the FBI caught him that i should try to
avoid doing?
hmm.
I'm not sure what it was that made the agents target him

IDK man, how many times have I said itm's [sic] imp011ant to interview
buyers
I'm sure I could have spotted those agents
I got way too many
to do that
IDK what to tell you.
It's possible you could get pinched for selling UA
sets
...
If you want to sell on cashapp you have to get rid of the UA
I
don't use cashapp anymore
Apple Pay and Zelle are equally
if not more traceable
I try to keep a pretty low profile. Only like 9k subs
28
in the main market.
Doubt I'll draw any law enforcement attention unless someone tips them
off. ..
What
if I post sum like "Disclaimer: As far as I know all of these girls are
atleast [sic]
18. If you' re aware of any that aren' t pls lmk"
29
•
Feel like that might protect me
Ehhhh in a com1
of law that would be tough to prove that you had no idea
Tough to prove that I DID tho too
You have a video
of [Minor Victim-I I] where she says shes 14
like it's not that easy to wriggle out of it on a technicality
Not in the main market tho
The UA sets could ruin your life
if those same undercover agents had hit
you
up
Yeah fuck i should just remove em
Just sucks cuz those sell alot [sic] lol
Also I meant that msg would probably tum
off any feds too. unless they
somehow recognize the girls and know they're under 18, they' d prob
just
take my word for it and move on
28
I believe "subs" refers to Telegram subscribers.
29
WHITE sent this message to Individual-4 on or about July 26, 2023. As described above in
Paragraph 9(e),
on or about July 30, 2023, THZ Admin added a "Legal Disclaimer" to the "Other
Teen (18+) Leaks" channel claiming that "[t]hese girls are all 18+
as far as I know."
