Crimes against Children 11-6-12
Kansas City, MO
David M. Ketchmark, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Kansas City, Missouri man was sentenced in federal court today for drugging and molesting 13 child victims, with some of the sexual abuse videotaped, over a four-year period.
James Phillip “Phil” Edwards, 63, of Kansas City, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple to 245 years in federal prison without parole.
“We’re satisfied that an extremely dangerous sexual predator is guaranteed to spend the rest of his life in prison,” Ketchmark said. “A virtual life sentence is the only just resolution for a self-confessed pedophile who drugged innocent children in order to sexually abuse them and then recorded videos of his molestation. This serial abuser will never victimize another child for the rest of his life.”
On March 16, 2012, Edwards pleaded no contest and the court entered a judgment of guilty to all 21 counts contained in an April 7, 2010, federal indictment. Edwards was found guilty of 12 counts of producing videos of the sexual abuse of 12 separate children, the attempted production regarding a 13th child, the advertising and attempted distribution over the Internet of images of the sexual abuse of other children, and possession of a large collection of child pornography downloaded from the Internet. The court also found Edwards guilty of five counts of administering a drug to some of the victims to facilitate these crimes.
Orlando, FL
A federal jury found Luis E. Morales (58, Ormond Beach) and Rebecca Rivera (27, Hartford, Connecticut) guilty yesterday of one count of sex trafficking of a minor and two counts of transporting a minor over state lines with the intent to engage in sexual activity. Morales was also convicted of three additional counts of transporting a minor over state lines with the intent to engage in sexual activity. Morales and Rivera each face a maximum penalty of life in federal prison. Their sentencing hearing is scheduled for January 22, 2013.

In November 2009, Morales and Rivera transported a 12-year-old minor, who was also a member of the ministry, from Florida to Connecticut knowing that the minor would be caused to engage in a commercial sex act. In December 2010, Morales transported another minor, age 13, who was also a member of the ministry.

Charleston, WV
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin today announced that a Boone County man was sentenced to eight years and one month in federal prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release, for receiving child pornography.

Runion admitted that he received and transported the images and videos of the minors while at a residence in Seth.

The investigation revealed that Runion knowingly possessed more than 600 images and videos on his computer depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Some of the images have been identified as known children.
Baltimore, MD
Brian Matthew Williams, age 28, of West Chester, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty today to receipt of child pornography.
“This defendant egregiously violated the privacy of young boys by secretly recording them in public restrooms, a crime that gives every parent nightmares,” said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. “I am grateful to the vigilant citizen who noticed the unusual behavior and immediately called 911 and to the police and prosecutors who conducted an urgent investigation.”
According to his plea agreement, on May 6, 2012, Williams spent nearly five hours at the Maryland House and Chesapeake House rest stops on I-95, going in and out of the men’s restrooms filming several minor males, most of whom were pre-pubescent, as they used the urinals. Williams positioned himself at an adjacent urinal and used his cellular telephone to create 21 videos focused on the genitals of minor males. Two of the videos depict two minor males urinating and captures images of one of the pre-pubescent minor male’s exposed penis. After capturing the images of the minor males using the urinals, Williams would exit the restroom and wait for the minor males to walk out, then capture full length images of the minor males, including their faces. After the parents of one of the victims reported Williams’ suspicious behavior to Maryland State Police, he was arrested, charged in Cecil County, and released on bond the same day.
Louisville, KY
According to the sentencing memorandum, John Dennis Clark, III used a Yahoo! Flicker account to upload 13,800 images of child pornography from January 2, 2007 to June 17, 2007. Flickr users who discovered the images complained to Yahoo! about the presence of child pornography associated with the “audriusmackevicius” account. Yahoo! submitted 13,800 images as a cybertip report to The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) on August 15, 2008. NCMEC referred the investigation to the FBI. The FBI traced the Internet protocol to an Insight account on Iola Road in Louisville, Kentucky. On January 7, 2009, the FBI executed a search warrant and seized Clark’s laptop computer and several items related to international travel. The Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory (RCFL) conducted a forensic examination of Clark’s laptop and discovered thousands of images of child pornography consisting of mostly prepubescent boys engaged in sexual activity. Seven days later, Clark fled the United States from Chicago to Warsaw, Poland. On or about February 27, 2009, during a check of international border crossing records, law enforcement discovered that Clark had fled the United States for Eastern Europe in a failed attempt to avoid prosecution.
Denver, CO
Peter Robert James, age 43, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Wiley Y. Daniel to serve 180 months (15 years) in federal prison for distribution of child pornography, the United States Department of Justice, the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC), the Colorado Springs Police Department, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) announced. Following his prison sentence, James was ordered to spend 10 years on supervised release. Chief Judge Daniel also ordered James to pay restitution totaling $5,000 to the two victims of his crime, with each receiving $2,500. The defendant appeared at the hearing free on bond, and was remanded into custody at the conclusion of the sentencing hearing.
According to the stipulated facts contained in the plea agreement, on August 10, 2010, a police officer in the Child Exploitation Section of the Sex Crimes Unit of the Toronto Police Service signed on to a file-sharing program account of an individual who had been arrested by the London Police Service for possession of child pornography. The Toronto police officer observed that a person using a specific user name was online. The officer browsed the 14 top-level directories that the target was sharing. While browsing the directories and subdirectories, the officer observed many images of child pornography. The officer captured thumbnails of more than 3,000 of these browsed images. The collection of files were both large and well-organized. The officer determined that the username in question’s IP address was registered to Comcast Cable with the user located in Colorado Springs. The officer ultimately downloaded 82 files from the target, which included 71 images of child pornography and five videos of child pornography. The Toronto Police Department referred the findings of their investigation to HSI, who in turn referred the case to the Colorado Springs Police Department.

Brian Matthew Williams, age 28, of West Chester, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty today to receipt of child pornography.
“This defendant egregiously violated the privacy of young boys by secretly recording them in public restrooms, a crime that gives every parent nightmares,” said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. “I am grateful to the vigilant citizen who noticed the unusual behavior and immediately called 911 and to the police and prosecutors who conducted an urgent investigation.”
According to his plea agreement, on May 6, 2012, Williams spent nearly five hours at the Maryland House and Chesapeake House rest stops on I-95, going in and out of the men’s restrooms filming several minor males, most of whom were pre-pubescent, as they used the urinals. Williams positioned himself at an adjacent urinal and used his cellular telephone to create 21 videos focused on the genitals of minor males. Two of the videos depict two minor males urinating and captures images of one of the pre-pubescent minor male’s exposed penis. After capturing the images of the minor males using the urinals, Williams would exit the restroom and wait for the minor males to walk out, then capture full length images of the minor males, including their faces. After the parents of one of the victims reported Williams’ suspicious behavior to Maryland State Police, he was arrested, charged in Cecil County, and released on bond the same day.
