A Centreville, Virginia man pleaded guilty today to two
counts of producing child pornography, announced Acting Assistant Attorney
General John P. Cronan of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S.
Attorney G. Zachary Terwilliger of the Eastern District of Virginia, Special
Agent in Charge Matthew J. DeSarno of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, and
Fairfax County Chief of Police Colonel Edwin C. Roessler Jr.
Kenneth Wayne Burk, 37, pleaded guilty before U.S. District
Court Judge Leonie M. Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia. According to admissions made in connection
with his plea, law enforcement began investigating Burk after a minor accused
him of sexual abuse. In 2017, law
enforcement seized electronic devices from Burk’s home in Centreville, and a
forensic examination of these devices revealed numerous images of Burk sexually
abusing the minor between 2013 and 2017.
Burk is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 14.
The case was investigated by the FBI and the Fairfax County
Police Department. Trial Attorney Kyle
P. Reynolds of the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section
and Assistant U.S. Attorney Whitney D. Russell of the Eastern District of
Virginia are prosecuting the case.
