During the search, law enforcement officials confiscated various computer equipment for further analysis. At the time of the search, Googe was released on bail pending the outcome of the investigation.

The detailed analysis of the seized devices uncovered a disturbing array of content: 1,289 still images classified as Category A, 1,792 images at Category B, and 4,854 images at Category C. Additionally, authorities found 104 videos featuring children, including 14 videos at the most serious Category A level.
