Only two charges ended up proceeding to trial – one count of allegedly attempting to access child pornography and one count of allegedly accessing child pornography. On 10 November 2015, Finnigan was found not guilty of one count for attempting to access child pornography but found guilty of one count for accessing child pornography.
