==Criminal and legal history==
===Arrest and incarceration on federal child pornography charges===
On September 24, 2014, following a year-long investigation of a deep web site over the Tor network found to host illicit activities, Christopher Grief was arrested on [[w:Child pornography|child pornography]] charges at his parents' home by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation<ref name="NYDN"/><ref name="DailyDot">[http://www.dailydot.com/crime/chris-grief-hurt2thecore-arrest-tor/ "The FBI nabbed another serial Deep Web pedophile"] - article on The Daily Dot. Dated September 30, 2014. Retrieved November 1, 2014.</ref> in connection with the site, where activity dating as far back as 2012 was found to be tied to his IP address.

In the official criminal complaint, written by a federal agent present at the search of the home, it was revealed that in addition to child pornography being found on his computer, he had also waived his [[w:Miranda warning|Miranda rights]], and admitted that the account and its activity were his. He further admitted to a violent sexual interest in children, his activities on the website discussing the torturing of children and animals, and having made a video demonstrating the mutilation of a rat.<ref>[http://www.archive.org/download/gov.uscourts.nyed.361171/gov.uscourts.nyed.361171.1.0.pdf United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York - USA v. Grief - Complaint]</ref>

Christopher was arraigned and charged in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on the same day. After being assigned a public defender and waiving his right to a preliminary hearing, he was ordered to be permanently held without bail, and to undergo a mental health evaluation<ref>[http://www.bignewsnetwork.com/index.php/sid/226253041 "FBI: Child porn suspect likes stuffed animal sex"] - article on bignewsnetwork.com.

Grief - Order of Detention]</ref>. He was remanded to the [[W:Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn|Metropolitan Detention Center ("MDC") in Brooklyn, New York]] at the end of 2014, and remained there through the conclusion of his trial.

===Plushie civil lawsuit===
On April 20, 2016, Brooklyn Federal Judge [[w:Pamela K. Chen|Pamela Chen]] threw out a lawsuit in which Grief had claimed that not being allowed to keep [[plush]] [[animal]]s in his jail cell was a form of discrimination.<ref name="NYDN2">[http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/plushie-accused-child-porn-won-stuffed-animals-cell-article-1.2609111 "EXCLUSIVE: Accused child pornographer and stuffed animal fetishist won’t have his fuzzy friends’ company in jail as judge tosses lawsuit"] - article in the [http://www.nydailynews.com/ New York Daily News]. Dated April 21, 2016. Retrieved April 22, 2016.</ref> Grief had argued that he had a "strong spiritual connection with the spiritual essence of [[stuffed animal]]s" which the warden at the Brooklyn MDC did not recognize, since he kept rejecting Grief’s requests for two stuffed animals "for his religious practices."<ref name="NYDN2"/>

Grief was alleged to have told the [[W:FBI|FBI]] that he liked to have sex with stuffed animals; and, in throwing out Grief's lawsuit, Judge Chen noted that stuffed animals are considered "contraband" in prison, and because he does not belong to an actual religion, "the presence of stuffed animals is not a religious mandate."<ref name="NYDN2"/>

===Guilty plea, sentencing, habeas dispute, and release===
On June 15, 2017, Grief pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography in interstate and foreign commerce.<ref>[https://www.newsday.com/long-island/crime/child-porn-sentencing-ridge-man-1.16346300 "DOJ: Ridge man sentenced to 8 years in prison in child porn case"] on newsday.com</ref><ref name="USDOJ">[https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/long-island-man-sentenced-eight-years-imprisonment-downloading-child-pornography "Long Island Man Sentenced To Eight Years’ Imprisonment for Downloading Child Pornography"] Retrieved September 2, 2021.</ref>

On January 24, 2018, Christopher was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment and lifetime supervised release, and would be required to register as a [[W:sex offender|sex offender]] and not be allowed unsupervised contact with minors.<ref name="USDOJ"/> He served out his sentence at the [[w:Federal Correctional Institution, Elkton|Federal Correctional Institution in Elkton, Ohio]].
