United States v. Travis Rocky Dixon, 589 F. App'x 427

Dixon appeals his convictions for receiving and possessing child pornography under 18 U.S.C. §§ 2252(a)(2), (a)(4)(B).
GOV argues the evidence at trial was sufficient to prove Dixon knowingly received and possessed the videos.
Investigations traced activity on a single computer at 2011 Locust Avenue, Dixon's bedroom, used under the username 'Rocky'.
The computer was downloading two child-pornography videos via FrostWire when search warrant was executed.
Dixon admitted: he was the primary user, downloaded videos with FrostWire, and had searched for terms like 'young girls' and 'teens'.
Forensic analysis confirmed downloading and an existing cache of child-pornography on the FrostWire-shared drive.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Sufficiency of evidence for receipt	Government contends Dixon knowingly received.	Dixon argues alternative downloads could be by others with access.	Sufficient evidence supported knowing receipt.
Sufficiency of evidence for possession	Government asserts Dixon knew files depicted minors engaging in explicit conduct.	Dixon contends lack of knowledge about specific files.	Sufficient evidence supported knowing possession.
Impact of possible third-party access	Government need not exclude all alternative innocent explanations.	Dixon relied on others' access to rebut the charges.	Jury could reject alternatives; credibility findings support verdict.
