Schulein also collected and stored over 9,000 images and videos of child sexual abuse material on an encrypted hard drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The FBI\u2019s Springfield Field Office investigated the case, with valuable assistance provided by the U.S. Marshals Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This case
