United States Fourth Circuit

Conviction for transporting child pornography, advertising the exchange of child pornography, and possession of material containing child pornography is reversed where the court erred in denying defendant's motion to suppress statements he made without Miranda warnings, since coercive pressures existed from defendant's interrogation taking place in a police dominated environment where the agents did everything to make defendant, or any reasonable man believe that he was not free to leave.
