KCK man sentenced to federal prison for possession of child pornography

A Kansas City, Kan., man who stored hundreds of child pornography photos on his computer was sentenced Tuesday to 6.5 years in federal prison, U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said.

Jesus H. Salcedo, 29, Kansas City, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography.

In his plea, he admitted that investigators downloaded child pornography from his computer using a file sharing program. The photos included prepubescent boys engaged in sex acts. Investigators found 480 images and 73 videos containing child pornography on Salcedo’s computer.

McAllister commended the Overland Park Police Department, the FBI Cyber Crimes Task Force and Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Kenney for their work on the case.
