Description

OIG initiated an investigation after we received a complaint that a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) employee misused his Government computer by visiting pornographic websites. The complainant said he had identified pornographic images, possibly of children, on the employee’s Government computer.

Our investigation did not identify child pornography; however, we did find that the employee visited websites containing sexually explicit adult pornographic content. When we interviewed the employee, he admitted to navigating to images with inappropriate adult content on his Government computer.
