Kansas City Man Sentenced to 12 Years for Child Pornography

Kansas City, MO – A 39-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison without parole for child pornography charges.

Robert P. Salapuddin was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Greg Kays to 12 years in federal prison and will spend the rest of his life on supervised release following incarceration.

The investigation began when law enforcement received an anonymous tip that Salapuddin was soliciting young girls to perform sex acts for him via a live streaming app. On Jan. 11, 2017, officers contacted Salapuddin at his residence and determined that he received and possessed a collection of child pornography.

Investigators found more than 35 videos of child pornography on Salapuddin’s computers, many of which appeared to be recordings from web cams or chat programs. They also discovered more than 250 images of possible child pornography and thousands of messages on Salapuddin’s iPhones, including message strings that mentioned the user was under the age of 18.

According to court documents, Salapuddin admitted to using various internet apps to receive and possess videos and images of teenage girls as young as 13 engaging in sexually explicit conduct. He also admitted to receiving a pornographic video of a minor victim on Jan. 3, 2016, and possessing images of child pornography on both his laptop and desktop computers on Jan. 11, 2017.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David A. Barnes and investigated by the FBI and the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
