KANSAS CITY, KAN. – An Overland Park man who admitted he
collected more than 44,000 images of child porn and shared some with other
computer users was sentenced today to 100 months in federal prison, U.S.
Attorney Stephen McAllister said.
Robert A. Weick, 33, Overland Park, Kan., pleaded guilty to
one count of distributing child pornography. Weick came under investigation
when a task force officer from the FBI used a file-sharing program to download
child pornography from Weick’s computer. When investigators served a search
warrant at Weick’s home, they discovered approximately 44,000 images and 500
videos containing child pornography.
Weick also was ordered to pay $40,000 in restitution to
victims who have been identified by the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children. McAllister commended the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney
Kim Flannigan for their work on the case.
