UNITED STATES OF Ah/[ERICA
V. ORDER OF DETENII/Q__N ENDING TRIAL
William A Phillips Case C KQS- 3), J J J.
Defendant
ln accordance with the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3 l42(f), a detention hearing has been held. I conclude that the following facts require the
detention of the defendant pending trial in this case.
Part I—Findings of Fact
Q (l) The defendant is charged with an offense described in 18 U.S.C. § 3l42(f)(1) and has been convicted ofa Q federal offense Q state
or loeal offense that would have been a federal offense if a circumstance giving rise to federal jurisdiction had existed that is

*

Q (3) A period of not more than five years has elapsed since the Q date of conviction Q release of the defendant from imprisonment
for the offense deseribed in finding (1). ,_
Q (4) Findings Nos. (1), (2) and (3) establish a rebuttable presumption that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the
`safety of (an) other person(s) and the community. I further find that the defendant has not rebutted this presumption.
Alternative Findings (A) i
X (1) 'There is probable cause to believe that the defendant has eorrnriitted an offense
H _ X for which a maximum term of imprisonment of ten years or more is preseribed in 18 USC § 2252A .
__ Q under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c).
X (2) The defendant has not rebutted the presumption established by finding 1 that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure
the appearance of the defendant as required and the safety ofthe community.
Alternative Findings (B)
(1) There is a serious risk that the defendant will not appear.
(2) There is a serious risk that the defendant will endanger the safety of another person or the community.
Part II—Written Statement of Reasons for Detention
1 find that the ercdiblc testimony and information submitted at the hearing establishes by clear and convincing evidence a prepon-
derance of the evidence: Defendant was detained because there are no conditions or combination thereof that will reasonable assure his
appearance as required and the safety of the community , Defendant is charged with child porn offenses for which the rebuttable presumption
Defendant has not rebutted that presumption and the evidence against defendant is substantial in support of the offense, which supports the issue
of danger to the community despite his lack of criminal history. All evidence that defense presented may have adequately addressed the issue of
risk of flight or failure to appear; it did not adequately deal with the danger to the community. Defendant not only accessed the alleged child pom
through P2P, he allowed others to access and download such materials on his computer by leaving his computer on. By doing this, he gained points
to avoid waiting in queues to access others computers for such materials. On his computer, 50 gigabytes (out of approximately 80 gigs available) are
devoted to pornography in the form of videos and pictures. Of that amount, 99% involves juveniles with 1% adult. This shows the audience he
intended to interest in his infom1ation, Evidenee showed that he previewed a number of the videos as they were download, as well as images that he
shared with including the rape of a 3 year old child (penetration by an adult). the materials described are violent baby rapc, involving graphic sexual
acts. Peoples acceptance of his materials validates his behavior. His receipt, possession, review and transmittal of sueh materials encourages others
that sueh behavior is acceptable and right. It also encourages the underground and continued rape and sexual abuse of minors. Under Supper, which
involves the analysis of danger under controlled substances defendant has not met his burden regarding dange ]Qhis__couijt_i;igws defendant no
different than a drug dealing pandering his poison on a street comcr. The only difference is that defendant catjisell his viqgent %l'l'l3§€S
