A Lindsborg, Kansas man who traveled to the Philippines and
had sex with minor females there pleaded guilty to three counts of production
of child pornography.
Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the
Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Stephen R. McAllister
of the District of Kansas made the announcement.
Anthony Shultz, 55, helicopter pilot, was charged by
complaint in July 2016 and pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Eric F.
Melgren of the District of Kansas. Sentencing is scheduled for December 6,
2018.
According to admissions made in conjunction with the guilty
plea, Shultz engaged in sex acts with minor females in the Philippines. He videotaped his sexual encounters with two
minors and transported the videos to his home in Kansas. One of the girls was only 12 years old at the
time; the other was 15 years old. In one
of the videos, Shultz is seen giving the 15-year-old money after having sex
with her. Shultz also produced child
pornography of an 8-year-old girl in the Philippines by communicating on Skype
with the child’s mother and directing the mother to expose the child’s genitals
and live-stream it on web camera.
The FBI investigated the case. Trial Attorney Lauren E.
Britsch of the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section
(CEOS) and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Hart of the District of Kansas
prosecuted the case.
