Kansas City, Mo. – A Kansas City, Mo. man who is a registered sex offender has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges related to child pornography.
Bryan Keith Rice, 50, was charged in a five-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Kansas City, Mo. on Wednesday, Jan. 8. Rice is required to register as a sex offender due to his prior felony conviction for possessing child pornography.
The federal indictment charges Rice with three counts of transporting child pornography across state lines, one count of receiving child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography.
The charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Alison D. Dunning. It was investigated by Homeland Security Investigation, the Platte County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department, the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department, and the Jackson County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
