Such evidence relates to Defendant's intent and the offense charged and are not too remote in time.See, e.g., U.S. v. South, 359 Fed.Appx. 960, 964 (11th Cir. 2010) (upholding the admissibility of images from defendant's computer of child pornographic websites visited and internet searches related to child pornography nine months prior as relevant to establishing the purpose of defendant's trips to Mississippi and to demonstrate defendant's sexual interest in young children).
With respect to the child pornography found on Hardy's computer in November 2010, these images also show underage boys in compromising sexual positions and are likewise probative of Hardy's sexual interest in underage boys. While the five months that elapsed between the time these images were discovered on Hardy's computer and the date of the charged offense is a factor to consider, Hardy's possession of the images is nonetheless close enough in time to the charged offense to be probative of Hardy's intent. See United States v. South, 359 F. App'x 960, 964-65 (11th Cir. 2010) (holding that evidence that the defendant possessed child pornography nine months prior to the crimes charged was relevant to determine his intent). Thus, as suggested by the Government and also done in South, the Court will permit limited introduction of this evidence by allowing the Government to call the case agent to describe the discovery of the images and provide a description of three of them, rather than introducing the actual images.
