He's asking you for the #s, surely he's referring to the indictment with numbered chapters. Chapter #61 discusses this scheme.

    If you have a photograph of a child being raped, and that child contacts you to ask for that photograph to be taken down, you should probably do a bit more than say "no", you should probably try and see if you are hosting images of child sexual abuse and see if you can take down those images. Backpage didn't dispute the identity of the children. Please read the documents.
