Crimes against Children 11-20-12

Mineapolis, MN
United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that an Eagle Butte, South Dakota man charged with sexual abuse of a person incapable of consenting was sentenced on November 13, 2012, by United States District Judge Roberto A. Lange. Cody Dean High Elk, age 29, was sentenced to 72 months in custody, three years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment to the Victim Assistance Fund.

The conviction arose from a September 2002 incident in Dupree, South Dakota, when High Elk sexually assaulted the victim at a time when the victim was incapable of appraising the nature of the sexual conduct and incapable of communicating the victim’s unwillingness to engage in the sexual act.

Minneapolis, MN
United States Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced that Anthony Fast Horse, age 58, of Rosebud, was convicted of one count of sexual abuse and found not guilty of one count of aggravated sexual abuse and two counts of sexual abuse as a result of a federal jury trial in Pierre, South Dakota. The charge carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, or both.

Fast Horse was indicted by a federal grand jury for the charge on March 13, 2012. The conviction stems from an incident that took place on or about between December 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010, in which Fast Horse sexually abused the victim.

Sacramento, CA
United States District Judge John A. Mendez sentenced Timothy Gevock, 27, of Stockton, today to five years and 10 months in prison, to be followed by a lifetime period of supervised release, for downloading child pornography, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.

According to court documents, in June 2011, the Greater Manchester Police notified the Cyber Crimes Center through Interpol that Gevock, using the e-mail address “evilgamer209@yahoo.com” had received child pornography from a British national. These images were sent via e-mail by a person named Campbell living in Manchester, England. Campbell was molesting a 4-year-old girl and trading the pictures with people on a Russian photo sharing site, including Gevock. In e-mails recovered during the Interpol investigation, Gevock wrote that he would “love to trade pics” with Campbell. Campbell then sent an e-mail with six images of child pornography attached. Gevock offered to send pictures of a 13-month-old he watched, and he attached a non-pornographic picture of his daughter in the bathtub.

Albuquerque, NM
This afternoon, a U.S. District Judge sentenced Johnson John, 65, an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation who resides in Church Rock, New Mexico, to a five-year term of imprisonment for his aggravated sexual abuse conviction.

In his plea agreement, John admitted that, between May 1, 2000 and September 1, 2000, he attempted to sexually assault a 12-year-old female child. John admitted luring the child victim into his home and attempting to rape her. He did not complete the sexual assault because he noticed another child watching through the window.

Springfield, MO
David M. Ketchmark, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Mountain Grove, Missouri man pleaded guilty in federal court today to possessing thousands of images and videos of child pornography.

According to today’s plea agreement, an employee of a computer repair store contacted the FBI when he found child pornography on Friend’s desktop computer.

After Friend picked up his repaired computer, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Friend’s residence and seized the computer, two digital cameras, and other related items. A child pornography video was downloading to Friend’s computer when the officers arrived to execute the search warrant.

Crimes against Children 11-7-12

Boise, ID
Judd E. Ballard is being held in the Ada County Jail on five counts of possession of sexually exploitative material after police say they found images of child pornography on computers in Ballard’s East Boise home late last week.

Police began investigating the 37-year-old Ballard in September after getting a tip from the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and found the illegal images on computers after serving a search warrant at Ballard’s home in the 1600 block of South Colorado Avenue Friday afternoon.

Investigators say Ballard was downloading illegal images from the Internet. He was arrested and booked into the jail Friday afternoon.

Kenner, LA
Ronald Brown.jpgA Kenner man was arrested and booked with possession of child pornography after an investigation by the Kenner Police Department.

Ronald Brown, 43, of Kenner, was booked with possession of child pornography. Detectives began conducting an undercover investigation into the possession, manufacture and distribution of child pornography in Kenner four months ago, according to the report. They were looking for residents who sought out or traded the illegal images online.
 
Investigators discovered that a computer later linked to Brown had a folder containing possible child pornography. They eventually tracked the computer to Brown's apartment and obtained a search warrant, the arrest report said.

Medford, OR
Top PhotoA Southern Oregon gymnastics teacher and sports photographer faces 30 child pornography charges for allegedly taking pictures of students while they were changing during private photo sessions at as many as three local gymnastics businesses over the past nine years, authorities said.

Jeffrey Scott Bettman was arraigned Monday in Jackson County Circuit Court on 30 crimes stemming from photographs seized from his computer during a Friday search of his home on the 1800 block of Camp Baker Road just outside of Medford, authorities said.

The search identified the presence of what appeared to be child pornography photos of gymnasts changing and taken without their consent or knowledge, said Detective Josh Nieminen from the Southern Oregon High-Tech Crimes Task Force, which is investigating the case.
