Topeka Man Sentenced on Child Pornography Charges

TOPEKA, KS—A Topeka man has been sentenced to 76 months in federal prison for distributing child pornography, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.

James A. Greer, 43, Topeka, Kan., was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Topeka. He pleaded guilty to one count of distributing child pornography. In his plea, he admitted that on March 15, 2012, an officer working with an FBI task force in Kansas City, Mo., used the Internet to download child pornography from Greer’s computer in Topeka.

A forensic exam of Greer’s electronic devices revealed approximately 900 image files and 290 video files containing child pornography.

Grissom commended the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Kenney for their work on the case.
