Iowa man arrested after Best Buy 'Geek Squad' workers discover child pornography on broken laptop.
An Iowa man was arrested this week after Best Buy workers discovered child pornography on his broken laptop.
That's when employees with the store's"Geek Squad" said they found several inappropriate images of underage girls, police said. Watson told investigators in an interview that he was the only person who used the password-protected computer, police said. He also described several of the images discovered on the device and admitted to labeling the files as “13 year old” and “14 year old’s,” according to the complaint.
Best Buy did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment, but a company spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that its"Geek Squad" discovers suspected pornography on devices nearly 100 times each year.
