Tyler Bullock, 30, of Dracut, guilty on Aug. 19, 2026, in federal court in Boston to one count of possession of child pornography and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, according to official records from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts. U.S. District Court Judge Myong J. Joun scheduled sentencing for Dec. 2, 2026. The proceedings remain open and developing as sentencing is pending. According to official records, Bullock was arrested in November 2025 after being identified as having sent money to an India-based network in exchange for child sexual abuse material. Officials recorded that during a search of his residence, Bullock admitted to soliciting and paying for the material, and a forensic review of his devices revealed both real and AI-generated child sexual abuse material. Bullock was prohibited from possessing firearms due to a 2016 conviction for Purchase or Possession of Child Pornography in Lowell District Court. During the search of the residence, a Ruger P85 9mm pistol loaded with several rounds of ammunition was found in a small safe under a rug, alongside a knife bearing Nazi symbolism, a copy of Mein Kampf, and 42 additional rounds of ammunition, official records state. Documents noted the pistol was reported stolen in transit from New Hampshire to Arizona. A partially assembled rifle and WWII-era German military memorabilia were also found in an upstairs bedroom. United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and William Ferrari, Deputy Assistant Director of the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service Office of Investigations, announced the guilty plea as part of Project Safe Childhood.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
