Liberty Man Sentenced to 15 Years for Child Porn
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A Liberty man was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison without parole for receiving child pornography over the Internet.
Tracy J. Yost, 44, of Liberty, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Bough for receiving child pornography over the Internet.
According to court documents, investigators executed a search warrant at Yost’s residence on April 5, 2013, and seized several computer hard drives. Forensic examiners found several videos of child pornography on one of the hard drives.
Yost was also involved in a sexually exploitative interaction with a minor, according to court documents.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the FBI.
This 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.
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.
