ARREST WARRANT / AFFIDAVIT:
On July 15, 2021, Dropbox, Inc., an internet cloud storage provider, filed a cyber tip with National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reporting that the Dropbox account of user ID 29XXXXXX04 (associated verified email: thedXXXXXXXjia@gmail.com) had been found to contain multiple sexual videos of minors. Dropbox included upload logs to that Dropbox account showing all of those files were uploaded to the Dropbox account on dates between May 25, 2021, and July 5, 2021.

Dropbox also provided recent IP logs for logins to that Dropbox account. The login IP address of the most recent login on 05/25/2021 was assigned by T-Mobile Cellular in the Madison, TN. area (Davidson County). The videos depicted the sexual abuse of pre-pubescent minor males including several videos showing the raping of infants and toddlers. Sexual acts included penile/anal penetration and fellatio.

A subpoena was executed on T-Mobile requesting the subscriber account assigned that suspect IP address on 05/25/2021 (date of last Dropbox login). T-Mobile showed that IP address assigned to the cellular phone account of Alan D. Walter (date of birth/08-09-1996) with a listed address on S.6th Street in Nashville.
A search warrant was executed to Dropbox for the full account contents.

Greater than forty child sexual abuse videos were found stored in that account including the rapes of toddlers and infants including fellatio and penile/anal penetration. A search warrant was also executed to Google for the contents of that user account. Another video of the penile/anal rape of an infant was found stored in the Google Photos infrastructure of the account. Photos of Alan Walter (a.k.a. “Dahlia Mejia”) were found as well.

On 10/28/2021 Detective Robert Carrigan (MNPD-Internet Crimes Against Children) interviewed defendant Alan Walter outside of his current residence at 700 Red Oak Flats, Nashville TN. He admitted to creating the suspect Dropbox account and the associated email account. He said he is the sole user of those accounts and from Fall 2020 through late Spring 2021 he used social media accounts on Tumblr, Wickr, and Telegraph to communicate with other persons who possessed and traded child sexual abuse images/videos.

He personally would send and receive sexual videos and images of minors and store those on his cell phone. He said he uploaded some of those files to his Dropbox account in May 2021 and was later locked out of the account by Dropbox. At the time of the report by Dropbox in July 2021 the defendant had been residing at his current residence.
