Lincoln Pedophile Sentenced to 60 Years for Child Porn Ring

A 53-year-old Lincoln man has been sentenced to 60 years in federal prison for his role in a child pornography ring. Amikhet En Maati, also known as Warren Coker, was found guilty of producing and possessing child pornography involving two separate victims. He was also charged with committing production of child pornography while on the Sex Offender Registry.

According to court documents, the Lincoln Police Department received a report on September 9, 2022, regarding the sexual abuse of a minor female. During the investigation, a search of Maati’s residence was conducted and a cellphone belonging to him was seized. A forensic examination of the cellphone revealed multiple child exploitation videos of minor Victim 1 and one video of minor Victim 2.

Maati uploaded and distributed these videos to a cloud-storage website where his friend, a registered sex offender, had access to them. Further review of Maati’s cloud-storage account revealed additional child exploitation videos of each of the victims.

Maati was previously convicted of Attempted Sex Assault of a Child in Douglas County District Court, Nebraska, in 1997, and Second-Degree Sexual Assault and Sexual Assault of a Child in Sarpy County District Court, Nebraska, in 1999.

U.S. Attorney Susan Lehr announced the sentencing, stating that Maati’s actions were “heinous and reprehensible.” Senior United States District Judge John M. Gerrard sentenced Maati to a total of 720 months’ (60 years’) imprisonment, with no parole available in the federal system. He was also ordered to pay $6,000 to a federal fund established to assist victims of child exploitation crimes.

Maati’s case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. The case was investigated by the Lincoln Police Department.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of child exploitation and the need for continued vigilance in protecting our children. We urge anyone with information about child exploitation to come forward and report it to the authorities.

The DOJ USAO has worked tirelessly to bring justice to the victims of child exploitation crimes. We commend the Lincoln Police Department for their dedication to investigating these heinous crimes.
