A man from Baxter Springs, Kansas, faces charges related to child sexual abuse materials in Wichita. According to court documents, Kenneth Norman Baker, 41, is charged with receipt, distribution, and possession of child pornography.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is handling the investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Hart.

This legal action is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative started in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to address child sexual exploitation and abuse. This program aims to locate and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet while identifying and rescuing victims.

The Department of Justice emphasizes that a complaint is an allegation and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
