A residence located at 606 NW 25
th

doors of both units face north. The target residence, 606 NW 25
th

Case 5:13-mj-00300-P Document 1 Filed 06/06/13 Page 2 of 12
Attachment B
This application seeks permission to search and seize records that may be located on
desktop computers, laptop computers, tablets and cellular telephones with internet access,
commonly referred to as smart phones. I submit that there is probable cause to believe
records related to the procuring of prostitutes will be stored on these devices for at least
the following reasons;
A. Based on my knowledge, training and experience as a law enforcement officer,
I know men looking to utilize a prostitute use the internet to procure their
sexual services. Devices commonly used to locate a prostitute to their liking
include desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet and/or a cellular telephone
with internet access. Even when files have been deleted, they can be recovered
months or years later using readily available forensic tools. This is because
when a person deletes a file on the aforementioned devices the file does not
actually disappeared, rather, that data remains in the hard drive of the device
until it is overwritten by new data.
B. Therefore, deleted files, or remnants of deleted files, may reside in the free
space that is not currently being used by the drive or an active file.
C. I know that searching for information stored on a device listed above often
requires the device to be searched by a qualified computer expert in a
laboratory or other controlled environment. This is often necessary to ensure
the accuracy and completeness of such data, and to prevent the loss of the data
either from accidental or intentional destruction.
D. Searching the above named devices for criminal evidence sometimes requires
highly technical processes requiring expert skill and a controlled environment.
Searching data are scientific procedures designed to protect the integrity of the
evidence and to recover hidden, erased, compressed, password protected or
encrypted files. Therefore, a controlled environment with the technical persons
to retrieve the data is necessary to maintain the integrity of the evidence.

Affidavit in Support of a Search Warrant
I, Scott D. Lobb, being duly sworn, state as follows:
1. I have served in various federal law enforcement positions for over eighteen years.
Currently, I am a Special Agent with the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), and have been so employed since January 25, 2004. I am
currently assigned to the Oklahoma City Division. My duties include conducting
criminal investigations of violent crimes, crimes against children, and matters
related to juvenile prostitution. I have received training in conducting criminal
investigations from the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia and elsewhere. Prior
to my employment with the FBI, I was employed with the U.S. Border Patrol and
the Immigration and Naturalization Service as a Deportation Officer and Special
Agent.
2. I present this affidavit in support of a search warrant for a residence, listed in
attachment A, to search for and seize items related to procuring a prostitute using
the internet and for producing child pornography, listed in Attachment B. Pursuant
to the authorities of this Court and Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure, I seek authority to search this property for evidence and
instrumentalities related to the allegations against Nathaniel Zeke Campfield
(CAMPFIELD) for committing sex trafficking of children by force, fraud, or
coercion, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1591(a) and production or attempted
production of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.c. 2251.
3. Through my training and experience, I am aware of methods employed by males,
commonly referred to as 'johns," who hire female prostitutes for commercial sex
purposes. To find a prostitute, johns commonly search websites that prostitutes use
to advertise their services. Johns search the websites from desktop computers,
laptop computers, tablets and/or cellular phones with internet access. When a john
finds a prostitute he likes, the john communicates with the prostitute through
email, SMS (or text message), or telephone call to arrange a meeting location and
discuss the cost of the prostitute's services.
4. I have not included every fact I know about this investigation in this affidavit. I
have only included those facts I believe are needed to demonstrate probable cause
for the warrant sought. The information in this affidavit is based on my personal
knowledge and observations; information conveyed to me by other law
Case 5:13-mj-00300-P Document 1 Filed 06/06/13 Page 4 of 12
enforcement officials; and my review of records, documents, and other physical
evidence relevant to CAMPFIELD's activities.'
Nathaniel Zeke Campfield
5. CAMPFIELD was born XXIXXI198 1. He is a United States citizen who, as of
May 25, 2013, was residing at 606 N.W. 25th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in
the Western District of Oklahoma. The affiant possesses no information
CAMPFIELD has permanently vacated the residence. As of May 25, 2013,
CAMPFIELD was employed as a reporter for The Oklahoman newspaper in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The Relevant Criminal Law
6. 18 U.S.c. 1591(a) makes it a crime to knowingly recruit, entice, harbor,
transport, provide, obtain, or maintain by any means a person, or to benefit from
such activities, in or affecting interstate commerce, knowing that the person will
be caused to engage in a commercial sex act; knowing or in reckless disregard of
the fact that either the person is a child under the age of 18, or force, fraud or
coercion was used.
7. 18 U.S.C. 2251, also known as The Protection of Children Against Sexual
Exploitation Act, criminalizes the (1) persuasion, inducement, or enticement of (2)
any minor to engage in (3) any sexually explicit conduct (4) for the purpose of
producing any visual depiction of such conduct.
2
8. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41 permits a United States Magistrate Judge
to issue a warrant authorizing a federal law enforcement officer to search for and
seize evidence, fruits, and instruments of a particular crime. Such a warrant is
generally issued upon the written application and affidavit of a federal law
enforcement officer.

blog." See http://www.lostogle.com.
2 In United Slales v. Helton, the Tenth Circuit held that a video of a child urinating where the
focal point is her underpants and genital area that was surreptitiously recorded by the defendant
by placing a hidden camera in the bathroom, coupled with the defendant's "extreme interest in
visual depictions of female underpants" was sufficient to sustain a conviction under 18 U.S.C.
2251 (a). United Slales v. Hellon, 302 Fed.Appx. 842, 849 (10th Cir. 2008) (unreported).

Summary of the Facts
9. On May 6, 2013, FBI agents interviewed a juvenile prostitute (CHF) for the
purpose of determining her age. The FBI received information that CHF was
potentially ajuvenile and was advertising on the website Backpage.com under the
Escorts section.
3
Upon making contact with CHF, interviewing agents
immediately identified themselves as FBI agents. CHF admitted she was 16 years
of age and to have been engaged in prostitution for about two-and-a-halfto three
weeks. During the interview, CHF and her adult boyfriend, gave consent to look
through her phone. A photograph on the phone featured an Oklahoma driver's
license issued to CAMPFIELD. It listed his date of birth as XXlXXI1981. The
listed address was 808 S.W. 10th Street, Lawton, Oklahoma. The driver's license
number was L0832220292. A picture of a white male was contained thereon. CHF
said she took the photograph for her security because CAMPFIELD expressed
reservations about her "boyfriend" being in the area while he had sex with CHF.
10. On May 8, 2013, FBI agents interviewed CAMPFIELD at his residence at 606
N.W. 25th Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Agents showed CAMPFIELD a
photograph of CHF and asked if he knew the girl in the photograph. He became
noticeably flushed in the neck and face and admitted he knew her. CAMPFIELD
expressed embarrassment about his actions and explained he was coming out of a
long-term relationship. He said he contacted CHF after seeing one of her
advertisements on a website, though he was unsure of which website.
CAMPFIELD admitted to meeting CHF at a gas station on Western Avenue,
Oklahoma City, near his home. CANIPFIELD said he decided against paying CHF
for sex because the presence of her male companion made him nervous.
CAMPFIELD said CHF did not go with him to his residence, nor had she ever
been there.
11. CHF posted an advertisement for prostitution services on Backpage.com on or
about May 7, 2013. The advertisement was discovered by your affiant. At the
request of your affiant, the Oklahoma City Police Department, Vice Enforcement
Unit attempted to make contact with CHF and did so on May 9, 2013, in Edmond,
3 The website backpage.com is a popular website used by prostitutes to advertise their services.
In prior investigations, the advertisements were usually listed in the "Adult Services" section of
the website.
Case 5:13-mj-00300-P Document 1 Filed 06/06/13 Page 6 of 12
Oklahoma. CHF was arrested for offering to engage in prostitution in Edmond,
Oklahoma. During her post-arrest interview CHF was again questioned about her
encounter with CAMPFIELD. She said she was paid $200 to have sex with
CAMPFIELD at his residence. When asked about the photograph of the driver's
license, CHF said she took it as a security measure, a compromise with
CAMPFIELD, who was opposed to her boyfriend providing security by sitting
outside of CAMPFIELD's residence. Following her arrest, the content of CHF's
cellular telephone was downloaded, to include text messages.
12. On May 10, 2013, CHF was interviewed at the Oklahoma Juvenile Detention
Facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in which she provided details about her
sexual encounter with CAMPFIELD. She said CAMPFIELD met her at a gas
station on Western Avenue and gave CHF a ride to his residence located a short
distance away. CHF detailed the interior of CAMPFIELD's residence including a
description of furniture and its location in the residence. CHF said shortly after
entering the residence, she commented on a photograph of a young girl in the
living room area. CAMPFIELD replied the girl was his daughter. CHF asked if
CAMPFIELD had engaged in sex with prostitutes before, to which he replied he
had but not that often. The two went to the bedroom where they engaged in sex.
CHF provided a description of CAMPFIELD's bedroom, including the location of
the bed to the right side of the room close to the wall as one entered and a guitar
placed on a guitar stand. When the two finished having sex, CAMPFIELD placed
$220 on the couch as payment to CHF. CAMPFIELD gave CHF a ride back to the
gas station. CHF completed a sketch of CAMPFIELD's residence.
13. A review ofCHF's text messages on her telephone, number 405-886-2206,
indicate that she had contact with CAMPFIELD via text message beginning in late
April. The messages on CHF's phone were with a number listed as 405-543-9740.
CAMPFIELD's phone number was listed as 405-543-9740 in his May 25,2013
arrest report (Oklahoma City Police Department case number 13-043044).
14. CAMPFIELD's first contact with CHF using his phone number 405-543-9740
occurred on April 23, 2013 at 5:59:05 p.m. There is back and forth between
CAMPFIELD and CHF as the two negotiate, via text message, to meet and have
sex. At one point, CAMPFIELD asked CHF her rates to which she responded:
"120 for 30 min and 170 for hour." Shortly thereafter CHF asked for a picture of
CAMPFIELD, but he replied, "Sorry, I work a high profile job." CAMPFIELD
Case 5:13-mj-00300-P Document 1 Filed 06/06/13 Page 7 of 12
requested CHF to meet him at a bar, but she responded she could not because she
was only 19. CAMPFIELD attempted to renegotiate the price, asking CHF if she
would take $150 for an hour. CHF responded she would not. On May 4,2013,
CAMPFIELD sent CHF a text that read: "My bro is coming for his bday next
weekend" and followed that text a short time later with, "U know any
younger girls I can get him for present?" He offered to tip her a finder's fee.
CHF responded she would need to meet in person to discuss it.
15. On May 25,2013, the Oklahoma City Police Department (OCPD) arrested
CAMPFIELD at a Moore high school graduation ceremony held at the Cox
Convention Center. It was alleged by mUltiple girls as young as 13 years old that
CAMPFIELD was intentionally bumping into the young girls and taking pictures
up their dresses into the groin area. The young girls noted that the area at the
ceremony was not so crowded where people continually were bumping into each
other, and that CAMPFIELD had to have been intentionally bumping into them.
Furthennore, multiple witnesses at the graduation ceremony confinned that they
became aware of CAMPFIELD pointing the camera up the young girl's dresses.
With tension at an all-time high in Moore due to the recent devastation from the
tornados, CAMPFIELD was covering the graduation ceremony as a photographer
for the Oklahoman. In the police report, the officer questioned a young woman
who became aware of the actions of CAMPFIELD when she witnessed another
young girl being bumped into multiple times. The young girl said that she was
worried about her broken ann that was in a cast, so she created a barrier between
CAMPFIELD and the wall in order to make sure she would not get injured. When
it became apparent that CAMPFIELD was taking pictures up the young girls'
dresses, witnesses at the ceremony prevented him from leaving until the police
officers arrived at the scene.
16. It was then alleged by witnesses that CAMPFIELD appeared to be deleting
content from the digital storage device (SD card) on his camera and that he must
have disposed of the SD card before the officers arrived. The reporting police
officer noted that CAMPFIELD insisted that he had left the SD card at home. This
is unlikely, however, because witnesses alleged that they saw the camera flashing
up the girl's skirts as well as hearing a continuing clicking noise. But the camera
would have been ineffective and could not have flashed without the SD card.
Moreover, without the SD card, CAMPFIELD could not have photographed the
graduation ceremony for the Oklahoman as he was assigned. Thus, the conclusion
Case 5:13-mj-00300-P Document 1 Filed 06/06/13 Page 8 of 12
must be drawn that CAMPFIELD disposed of the SD card after his actions were
noticed and before police arrived.
17. CAMPFIELD has a pattern of conduct similar in nature that should be considered.
He was arrested in 2003 in Montana for related activity. Subsequently,
CAMPFIELD and received a three-year deferred sentence for burglary offemale
undergarments. This deferred finding was subsequently dismissed. Although not
entirely conclusive, this as well as the incident at the graduation service should be
used as evidence that a crime did in fact happen and should provide probable
cause for a warrant to search his home. .
18. More improper behavior by CAMPFIELD was brought to the attention of his
employer, the Oklahoman in 2012. CAMPFIELD was accused of continually
bumped into various females at the Oklahoma state fair and snapping pictures up
their skirts.
19. In order to find probable cause to receive a search warrant for CAMPFIELD'S
home, we must present evidence that a crime was committed in a specific area.
By searching CAMPFIELD'S home, we will be able to further establish that a
crime has been committed. We must assume that CAMPFIELD owns a computer
within his home because of his career as a photographer and reporter for the
Oklahoman daily newspaper. Ifwe are able to search CAMPFIELD'S home, we
will be able to also examine his computer and cell phone that would lead directly
to evidence that CAMPFIELD committed the crime. It can also be assumed that
CAMPFIELD owns a computer in his home because CHF was contacted by him
through the cellular number advertised on the Backpage.com website. Further, in
order for CAMPFIELD to have been in contact with CHF, it must be concluded
that he used a computer to search for the website that ultimately led him to CHF.
Also, CHF noted when she was inside CAMPFIELD'S home that she saw a bag
that appeared to be a laptop carrier.
Conclusion
20. Based on the foregoing, I have probable cause to believe that on or about April
23,2013, within the Western District of Oklahoma, Nathaniel Zeke Campfield
transported CHF, age 16, to 606 NW 25
th
Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,
knowing that the person would be caused to engage in a commercial sex act,
knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact the person was a child under the age of
Case 5:13-mj-00300-P Document 1 Filed 06/06/13 Page 9 of 12
18, in violation of 18 United States Code 1591(a). In addition, based on the
foregoing, I have probable cause to believe evidence and instrumentalities relating
to this crime will be located on electronic instruments and electronic media located
in the residence described in Attachment A.
