I might be reading this the wrong way but it looked to me like the cops
raided his home and the Tor server is hosted off site with an ISP. That
is what is bugging me so much. The cops raided his house, not the
location of the server. If they had tracked the server by its IP it
would have led to the hoster, not his home. They could have gotten his
address as the account holder but the ISP would have known that the Tor
server was at their site not his home. The IP would not track to his
residence. Something is not the full story here or I am misreading his
interview.
How about:
Police have seen CP and have logs from "Additionally, I was accused of sharing (and possibly producing) child pornography
on a clearnet forum via an image hosting site that was probably tapped."
Police look at IP addresses that have accessed the images for those that are
within their jurisdiction.
Police find an address within a block that is registered to Wiliam.
Police raid William and receive an education on TOR exit nodes on servers in
Poland.
Maybe?
Why wouldn't the IP address have led to William?
