Grimy Times exclusively reports on the sentencing of a Kansas man for soliciting child pornography from two Boone County, Missouri victims.

A Lawrence, Kansas, man has been sentenced in federal court for soliciting pornographic images from two Boone County, Missouri, child victims.

Kyle G. Gibler, 30, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Roseann Ketchmark on Friday, October 27, 2022 to 30 years in federal prison without parole.

The court also sentenced Gibler to 10 years of supervised release following incarceration. Gibler will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison and will be subject to federal and state sex offender registration requirements, which may apply throughout his life.

On August 25, 2022, Gibler pleaded guilty to attempting to produce child pornography. Gibler admitted that he received pornographic photos of an 11-year-old victim and a 2-year-old victim. Gibler solicited the photos while communicating with the 11-year-old victim on a dating website.

The victim told investigators she lied about her age in order to get on the site, but told Gibler she was 11 years old. According to court documents, Gibler used a fake name and persona online, portraying himself as an 18-year-old male in Florida.

The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the government to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashley S. Turner. It was investigated by the Boone County, Missouri, Sheriff’s Department and the FBI.

Gibler was sentenced to exactly 30 years in federal prison without parole, with 10 years of supervised release following incarceration.
