A Gladstone man has been sentenced to 18 years and four months in federal prison without parole for receiving and distributing child pornography over the Internet.
Judge Greg Kays handed down the sentence to Jack E. Grubb III, 35, in federal court in Kansas City, Missouri, following his guilty plea on March 23, 2016.
According to court documents, Grubb used a peer-to-peer file-sharing program to receive and distribute child pornography. Undercover law enforcement officers downloaded a number of child pornography images from Grubb’s computer, which made at least 25 files of interest available.
Among the downloaded files were one 13-minute and one 10-minute video that depicted graphic sexual assaults by an adult male on little girls between 8-to-9 and 10-to-12 years old. A search warrant was executed at Grubb’s residence and his computer equipment was seized.
Grubb kept a substantial amount of child pornography on various hard drives and SD cards. Some of the images were of adult males engaged in sexual activity with children who appeared to be as young as two years of age. In addition, one 26-minute video depicted a 9-to-10-year-old female.
Grubb pleaded guilty to receiving child pornography over the Internet on October 27, 2013, and to attempting to distribute child pornography over the Internet on November 7, 2013. He was also in possession of child pornography on January 23, 2014.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
