Child pornography cases always guarantee public sympathy for law enforcement.
Which is why it's always best for the government to use them if law is likely to be contentious.

Since we are talking the US Constitution 5th Amendment IE the right to not incriminate yourself, I'd guess the question is what would be the story if (in earlier days) he was a Mafia book keeper and kept the books in his own personal code ?
