The investigation was initiated when it was learned that Duncan was viewing files of child sexually abusive material on the internet which resulted in the seizure of digital evidence from his home.

Duncan was charged with five counts of aggravated distribution of child sexually abusive material, five counts of aggravated possession of child sexually abusive material, ten counts of possession of child sexually abusive material and twenty counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
