During the month of January 2010, the Worcester County Bureau of Investigation began investigating the alleged violation of the peeping tom law. During the investigation, it was learned that a female juvenile had been residing on a temporary basis at the suspect’s residence. From conversations that occurred between the juvenile and the suspect (Kirt Greenberg) lead the victim to believe that Kirt Greenberg had video taped her, without her consent, taping her with little to no clothing. From the information learned the Worcester County Bureau of Investigations executed a search and seizure warrant on the suspects’ residence in late February, recovering several computer hard drives, which have been forward to the Maryland State Police Computer Crimes Unit for analysis.
It was also learned during our investigation that in September 2009, the Federal Bureau of Investigation began an investigation into the possible possession and distribution of child pornography by the suspect. A Special Agent with the F.B.I. had logged onto a public website in an undercover capacity and received an invitation by the suspect to join his chat room. Once in the chat room, the Agent was able to download over 500 images of child pornography. Through their investigation, they were able to track the IP address through the internet server. The IP address belonged to the suspect.
From the images forwarded by the F.B.I., an arrest warrant was obtained charging the suspect with possession of child pornography, distribution of child pornography by computer.
On July 16, 2010 Worcester County Bureau of Investigation arrested the suspect at his residence with incident.
Greenberg was taken before a district court commissioner and held on $25,000.00 bond at The Worcester County Detention Center. The investigation is continuing.

Joe is well aware the police conduct the investigations and make the arrests, not the prosecutor whoever that may be. The State's Attorney's Office only takes the charges to court after the police have made the arrests, they don't decide when to bring the charges. If Child porn was involved the FBI probably seized his computer to analyze it before any charges could be issued. Nice try on making Joel Todd look responsible
