Eychaner was forbidden from viewing any pornographic material as part of the terms of his supervised release from prison in 2016.
However, the court determined that there was sufficient evidence to conclude that the images do portray children engaged in sexual acts.
However, Eychaner used his supervised computer to search for what the court describes as “anime images depicting children engaged in sexual activity,” and he later confessed this to his probation officer.
The court also upheld his convictions for evidence tampering and for destroying an object to impede an investigation.
