According to court documents, Homeland Security Investigations began looking into Hogan in December 2023 after CSAM was discovered in a cloud account linked to his phone number.
On November 15, 2024, an HSI agent approached Hogan in a parking lot. He agreed to speak and admitted, “I imagine there’s probably a bit” of CSAM on his phone.
Hogan gave agents consent to search his device, which contained multiple CSAM videos. He also admitted to saving the material on his phone and receiving it through social media group chats and direct messages.
