James A. Greer, Distributing Child Pornography, Kansas 2012
A 43-year-old Topeka man has been sentenced to 76 months in federal prison for distributing child pornography, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.
James A. Greer was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Topeka for one count of distributing child pornography. In his plea, he admitted that on March 15, 2012, an officer working with an FBI task force in Kansas City, Mo., used the Internet to download child pornography from Greer’s computer in Topeka.
A forensic exam of Greer’s electronic devices revealed approximately 900 image files and 290 video files containing child pornography, a staggering display of the defendant’s depravity.
The investigation into Greer’s activities was a collaborative effort between the FBI and local law enforcement agencies. U.S. Attorney Grissom commended the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Kenney for their work on the case.
“This sentence reflects the seriousness of these crimes and the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions,” Grissom said.
The case is a stark reminder of the importance of being vigilant online and the consequences of engaging in such heinous activities. The community should be assured that those who engage in such behavior will be brought to justice.
Greer’s sentence will serve as a warning to those who would seek to profit from the exploitation of children. The sentence will also provide some measure of justice for the victims of Greer’s crimes.
