A Kansas man has been sentenced to over 15 years in prison following the discovery of child sexual abuse materials at his residence. Scott Warren Vass, aged 57, from Arkansas City, admitted guilt to one count of possession of child pornography.
In April 2023, FBI agents executed a search warrant at Vass' home and confiscated several devices containing child sexual abuse materials. The investigation also uncovered that multiple Google accounts associated with Vass contained explicit images of minors under the age of 12.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted the investigation, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Molly Gordon prosecuted the case.
This legal action is part of Project Safe Childhood, an initiative launched by the Department of Justice in May 2006. The program aims to combat child exploitation and abuse by coordinating federal, state, and local resources to locate and prosecute offenders who exploit children online and to identify and rescue victims.
