MEDFORD, Ore. – On Monday, April 9, 2018, Sean Jeffrey Haga,
32, of Bandon, Oregon, pleaded guilty to one count of child sexual
exploitation.
On June 17, 2016, Haga shared child pornography online using
Kik Messenger with an undercover FBI task force officer. Haga told the
undercover officer that he wanted to travel to have sex with the officer’s
minor daughter and that he possessed photos of himself sexually abusing a minor
victim. Haga sent multiple pictures depicting the abuse to the undercover
officer.
The FBI worked through the night to identify the person
associated with the online user ID, the location from which it was being used,
and the identity of the resident at that location. Based on the information
collected, FBI agents in the Medford Resident Agency were able to obtain search
and arrests warrants. Haga was arrested on June 18, 2016 without incident.
Haga was formerly employed as an educational assistant,
track coach and basketball coach in the Bandon School District.
Haga faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison, a
$250,000 fine and a five-year term of supervised release. He is also subject to
a 15-year mandatory minimum prison sentence. Haga will be sentenced on July 19,
2018 before U.S. District Court Judge Anne L. Aiken.
This case was investigated by the FBI and prosecuted by Amy
Potter, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
