He is currently out of custody on a $5,000 bond and is next set to appear in court on May 27 for his hearing on advisement.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children notified the Colorado Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force about child sex abuse material on a cloud computing service, according to a release. After task force representatives learned the suspect was likely in Boulder County, the Boulder County Digital Forensics lab took over the investigation and later identified Christensen as a suspect. Representatives executed a warrant for Christensen’s home in the 700 block of Hallmark Lane in Longmont and seized several electronic devices, according to the release.
Assisting agencies included the Boulder County Digital Forensics Lab, the Longmont Department of Public Safety, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office, the Boulder Police Department and the Longmont SWAT.
