Mahoney (2013) 220 Cal.App.4th 781, 793 [the defendant conducted Internet searches for child pornography; accessed pornographic Web sites on three different computers; enlarged thumbnail images; and partially downloaded and then deleted videos]; People v. Luera (2001) 86 Cal.App.4th 513, 523 [knowing possession found where the defendant purposefully downloaded images and kept them on his hard drive].)
