SEATTLE, WA – Ty Lee Tredennburger, the former coach of a South King County bowling team, was sentenced today to 25 years in prison for producing and possessing child pornography. The grim sentence comes after Tredennburger admitted photographing and saving images of his molestation of minor victims aged 13 to 16.
U.S. District Judge John C. Coughenour noted the breach of trust as a coach, saying that the abuse spanned over multiple years. ‘This defendant not only groomed the victims but went to great lengths to convince their parents he would take care of them during out-of-state tournaments,’ said U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran.
In March 2017, a young victim disclosed the abuse to a parent. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Seattle Police Department seized electronic devices containing over 300 images and 12 videos of the sexual abuse. Law enforcement identified two additional victims through these images.
‘The years of abuse suffered by the victims at the hands of this dangerous child predator are inexcusable,’ said Brad Bench, special agent in charge of HSI Seattle. Tredennburger will also face a state sentence for child molestation in King County Superior Court, which will run concurrent with the federal prison term.
The case was investigated by HSI with assistance from the Des Moines Police Department and the Seattle Police Department. Special Assistant United States Attorney Cecelia Gregson is prosecuting the case in federal court.
