If you have been charged with a felony concerning a child sex case where the prosecution is dismissing the charges against you, the prosecution will have to dismiss all computers and other items confiscated from your possession returned.
If you have a criminal defense attorney representing you, you need to have him or her negotiate with the district attorney's office for a set time and place for the return of the seized items.
