WICHITA, KAN. – A federal grand jury returned an indictment charging a Kansas man with child pornography crimes.
Walter Haskin, 27, Cottonwood Falls, was indicted on one count of attempted distribution of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography, according to the United State's Attorney.
The Kansas Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force launched an investigation after Dropbox submitted a tip through the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children hotline indicating the file sharing service said it had detected child pornography uploaded to an account, according to a criminal complaint.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Kansas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and the Wichita Police Department are investigating the case.
In 2011, Haskin was convicted of criminal sexual assault in Illinois, according to the KBI offender registry. He has been listed as an offender since 2013.
