Darwin has been arrested for violating a federal statute criminalizing the 

commercial production, sale, or possession of depictions of cruelty to 

animals

,

on his personal laptop.  The case began when a friend of 

Darwin’s noticed that he was viewing videos of dog fights in his dorm 

room and complained to the Dean of Students at the state university they 

both attend.  Darwin was immediately expelled and escorted from 

campus.  His laptop was confiscated by security and turned over to the 

State’s Federal Prosecutor.  Further investigation led the federal 

prosecutor to Steven Roberts,

an author and small-time film producer 

who presented himself as an authority on pit bulls. Roberts compiled and 

sold videotapes showing dogfights.  Though Roberts did not participate 

in the dogfights, he was charged under a federal law that banned 

trafficking in “depictions of animal cruelty.”
