<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Investigators were tipped off last year after Dropbox alerted them to a user who had uploaded 1,600 files of suspected child pornography and animal abuse. The files allegedly, were accessed multiple times by an IP address eventually traced to Madden&#8217;s home and the animal hospital where he worked.<br>The reports were confirmed by agents who carried out a raid on Madden&#8217;s home on February 24. The suspect allegedly admitted to owning the marked Dropbox account.<br>Authorities say they found multiple files of social media chats in which Madden discussed &#8216;the sexual abuse of animals and children&#8217; and shared numerous videos and images with unidentified individuals. <br>The complaint alleges that Madden also had multiple photos and videos of images &#8216;depicting bestiality&#8217;. <br>Madden also allegedly shared images in some chats and admitted in detail to having sex with and abusing dogs. <br>In one of those chats, Madden is accused of sending images of a man sexually abusing a dog.<br>When the other person involved in the chat asked if the man in the images was Madden, he allegedly responded: &#8216;Yea&#8230; I was keeping a dog that needed a home&#8217;.<br>Some of the animal abuse images were digitally coded as having been taken at his home, according to the complaint.<br>Another explicit video was traced as having been taken at the animal hospital back in May 2018. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> &#8216;This leads me to believe that Madden may be abusing animals entrusted to his care,&#8217; FBI agent Leah Ortiz wrote in the complaint.<br>His profile on the Caring Hands Animal Hospital website was removed in the wake of his arrest. <br>Madden, who is a native of north Alabama, described himself in the now-deleted profile as the &#8216;proud pet parent&#8217; of a Shih Tzu named Lucky and two Burmese pythons named, Mocha and Sherbert. <br>He attended the Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine. <br>The hospital issued a statement on Wednesday calling Madden&#8217;s alleged crimes &#8216;heinous and unthinkable&#8217;. <br>&#8216;Our legal team, and every single member of the Caring Hands family will be doing everything in our power to aid law enforcement and facilitate their investigation and prosecution,&#8217; the hospital&#8217;s statement said.<br>Madden is facing charges of possession of child pornography, receipt of child pornography and animal abuse. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The charges fall under a federal law outlawing animal abuse, which was initially created in response to a genre of cruelty in which people record the harming of animals for the sexual gratification of viewers.<br>The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act, signed into law by President Donald Trump in 2019, makes the production of torture videos punishable by up to seven years in prison.<br>Madden is being at Miami&#8217;s Federal Detention Center pending a hearing on Friday. </p>
