Crimes against Children 11-14-12

Orlando, FL
A Central Florida man who reportedly told agents he hears voices of girls saying they love him pleaded guilty to a child pornography charge in Orlando federal court.

FBI agents began investigating Michael Vangasbeck when a man told authorities in March that the DeBary man contacted his 10-year-old daughter online and indicated he wanted to show her his genitals.
Agents interviewed Vangasbeck in April, and the 34-year-old admitted to having roughly 1,000 images of child pornography on his desktop computer.

A 54-year-old Shelby Township resident has been charged with possession of child pornography.

The Macomb Area Computer Enforcement Team (MACE) received an FBI lead from the Oklahoma City Office - a peer-to-peer file exchange that had several dozen file names consistent with child pornography.

A member of the MACE team following up on the tip discovered that the IP address was registered to a David Perez of Shelby Township.

According to the criminal complaint filed in the Eastern District Federal Court of Michigan, Perez admitted to using the file sharing program but denied purposefully downloading child pornography. Perez also admitted that he "accidentally" received files containing child pornography.

Michael James Angus, 68, of Star, Idaho, was sentenced today in United States District Court in Boise to 120 months in prison for possessing sexually explicit images of minors, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced. Chief U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also ordered Angus to be on supervised release for the remainder of his life and pay restitution to the victim. A hearing to determine the amount of restitution has not yet been set.

According to the plea agreement, deputies from the Ada County Sheriff’s Office, who are members of the Idaho Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, began an investigation after a 10-year-old female reported that Angus had engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with her while her family was visiting at Angus’ home on October 30, 2011. The parents of the 10-year-old also expressed concern for the welfare of another child, an 8-year-old, who often spent time alone with Angus at his home.

Investigators identified the 8-year-old and contacted her. The girl, whom Angus had cared for off and on for several years, disclosed inappropriate contact by Angus, and told investigators that he had also taken pictures of her dancing, posing nude, and when she was in the bathtub.
