In attempting to show the jury that it’s possible to view child pornography without realizing it’s child pornography, he downloaded stock photos of two girls and “photoshopped” them to become pornographic. Unfortunately for Boland, his testimony came to the attention of the FBI, which searched his home and office for more pornography. Boland ultimately admitted to having violated federal law in a pre-trial diversion agreement, and published an apology in the Cleveland Bar Journal.
