IDAHO FALLS — The court date for a man accused of having multiple terabytes of child pornography has been delayed.
Stanley Gallegos waived his right to a speedy trial when his defense requested his pretrial conference be delayed until Dec. 18.
Gallegos is scheduled to stand trial Jan. 9. He was released into pretrial service on March 30.
The investigation into Gallegos began in Moscow, Idaho. Detective Eric Kjorness with the Moscow Police Department and a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children task force downloaded 112 files containing child pornography from a single IP address through a torrent.
That address was later discovered to be associated with a Cable One account registered to Gallegos.
According to police reports, investigators discovered a massive amount of child pornography on several multi-terabyte hard drives. Investigators said there was so much pornography, it would take thousands of hours to catalog all of the photos and videos.
