Searching these devices produced no evidence relevant to the case. Nothing linked Klayme to the girl. No intimate images were found. Klayme did have a Kik account, but cops couldn’t even show that he had accessed the service during the period in question.

How was he convicted to begin with?

Because any missing images can be attributed to him deleting them, and there was a chain of evidence linking the kik account to his IP to his physical address, which was actually mistaken.
