Child Rapist and Pornographer Pleads Guilty

Last update: 12:51 p.m. EST Dec. 18, 2008

SPOKANE, Wash., Dec 18, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- 50-year Sentence Recommendation Subject to Court Approval
Kenneth John Freeman, 46, formerly of Richland, Wash., pleaded guilty yesterday to three federal crimes -- two counts of producing child pornography, one count of interstate transportation of a minor for the purpose of engaging in unlawful sexual activity -- and three state crimes -- three counts of rape of a child in the first degree announced James A. McDevitt, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, Karin Immergut, U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, and Andy Miller, Benton County, Wash., Prosecuting Attorney.
Freeman sexually abused his daughter from May 2000 to July 2001, when she was 10 and 11 years old. The abuse occurred in both Washington and Oregon. Freeman filmed the sexual abuse and thereafter distributed those pictures and videos internationally over the Internet.
Freeman fled the country in March 2006. Nine months later, he was profiled on the television program America's Most Wanted. The show featured an interview with his daughter and a plea for him to surrender to law enforcement authorities. A detective with the Toronto Police Service saw the show and for the first time linked Freeman to the production of child pornography images and videos that were some of the most frequently downloaded in the world.
Based on this information, Freeman was immediately placed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement's and the U.S. Marshals' Most Wanted Fugitives lists and he became the subject of a worldwide manhunt. A team of investigators from various law enforcement agencies, including the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, tracked Freeman to China.
On May 1, 2007, the pursuit ended when Hong Kong authorities arrested Freeman, a former competitive bodybuilder, as he arrived at the city's bus depot to begin a holiday trip. Throughout the pursuit, special agents of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and law enforcement authorities in Beijing, Suzhou and Hong Kong were key players on the ground. The Chinese authorities, unable to take any action against Freeman due to his valid visa, nevertheless monitored Freeman's movements and notified U.S. law enforcement authorities of his intended travel to Hong Kong, which has an extradition treaty with the United States. Freeman ultimately consented to his extradition and agreed to be returned to the United States to face the charges against him. He was extradited to the United States in October 2007 to face these criminal charges.
According to the plea agreement, the U.S. Attorneys for the Districts of Oregon and Eastern Washington and the defendant agree that he should be sentenced to 50 years in federal prison followed by a three-year term of court supervision. Additionally, the plea agreement contemplates a 20-year prison sentence in state court to run concurrent with the federal sentence. Sentencing on the federal charges is scheduled for March 25, 2009.
"Thanks to the outstanding work of our local, federal and international law enforcement partners, Mr. Freeman was captured, has now pleaded guilty and will no longer be a danger to society," said U.S. Attorney McDevitt. "I want to especially thank the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Oregon and the Benton County Prosecutor's Office for their outstanding cooperation in the resolution of this matter. This case demonstrates the success of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to combat the epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse."
"As a result of the collaborative efforts of local, federal and international law enforcement officers, a child sexual predator will be held accountable for the unspeakable crimes he committed," said U.S. Attorney Immergut. "Although it is tragic that the victim will be forced to live with the memory of the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her father, we are pleased that this chapter of her life will be behind her."
"We are very pleased that the close cooperation between federal and state authorities helped obtain the convictions and lengthy recommended sentences," said Andy Miller, Benton County Prosecuting Attorney. "None of this would have been possible without the extraordinary courage and strength of the victim during this long ordeal."
"As a former fugitive on ICE's and the U.S. Marshals' Most Wanted lists, Kenneth Freeman's case is of paramount importance," said Leigh Winchell, Special Agent in Charge of ICE's Office of Investigations in the Pacific Northwest. "Over the past five years, ICE has identified and removed more than 11,500 sexual predators from our communities, but Kenneth Freeman distinguishes himself as one of the most heinous and despicable pedophiles ICE has ever encountered. His capture overseas and eventual return to Washington State to face justice are a powerful reminder that the world's sexual predators increasingly have no place to hide. ICE's work is not done. We will continue to target those who sexually exploit our children, robbing them of their innocence and their youth."
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in February 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

This case was investigated by the Richland, Wash., Police Department, the Benton County Sheriff's Office, the Kennewick, Wash., Police Department, the U.S. Marshals, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children assisted in the investigation. This case was prosecuted by Stephanie Lister, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, Gary Sussman, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon, and Adrienne Farabee, Benton County Deputy Prosecutor.

Yep, in American jail, rapist and pedofiles have the lowest status.
Since he is both, his status is even lower
Besides he was a cop, so some inmates will have some business to do with him.
