Ex-Seaman teacher facing child porn charges says FBI forced him to share passcode. He wants the evidence tossed.

Former Seaman High School teacher and coach Jeffrey D. Pierce, who faces federal child pornography charges, says the FBI violated his Fourth Amendment rights by illegally forcing him to provide the passcode it used to unlock his cellphones. Christopher M. Joseph, one of Pierce's attorneys, made that assertion in a motion to suppress evidence filed Feb. 1. Joseph contended all information authorities gained as a result of receiving access to Pierce's cellphones must consequently be excluded from his trial, including the contents of those phones and the statements Pierce made to authorities as they searched those phones. FBI agents who ...
