Quinn with 2,573 counts of Possession of Pornography Involving Juveniles. Quinn was also charged with 14 counts of Possession With Intent to Distribute Pornography Involving Juveniles, and 89 counts of Production of Pornography Involving Juveniles.

The juvenile victims were unidentified and appeared to be downloaded through the internet from unknown locations both national and international, and ranged in age from approximately 1 years old to approximately 16 years old. The child pornography was found on media devices that belonged to Quinn, and was found as a result of the original investigation into the rape of several adults that were under the influence of drugs.
