BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) -- When told a link containing child pornography was found on his phone, Erik Ruiz became distraught. "That's what I get for trying to watch regular porn," said Ruiz, adding that he was going to kill himself, according to newly-released police reports. The Shafter ma n and convicted sex offender asked to see an officer's gun. The officer refused, and asked why he wanted it. Ruiz responded that "his life is over anyways," the reports say. Ruiz has pleaded not guilty to a charge of possessing child porn and is due back in court next week. Shafter police on March 5 were notified by a Secret Service analyst that a link to a video containing child porn had been found on Ruiz's phone, the reports say. The analyst conducted a download of the phone after receiving it from a parole agent who'd taken it from Ruiz in another case. Authorities then executed a search warrant March 21 at Ruiz's home. Another phone was seized. DOJ investigating California universities over affirmative action Ruiz said the phone belonged to his father but he also used it. An officer asked if there was anything on the device that shouldn't be there. "Well I clicked on links on there. There might be," Ruiz said. "F---!" He gave conflicting statements, at first saying he didn't click on the links and had no idea how much child porn they contained, according to the documents. Later he said he'd access the links and if a video contained children he'd skip it. Ruiz asked an officer how many years he could face in prison. He worried over whether he'd be judge more harshly because of his status as a register sex offender, the reports say. An Xbox and hard drive were seized from Ruiz's bedroom for analysis. ...read more read less
