KANSAS CITY —A Kansas man was sentenced to 96 months in prison time followed by five years of supervised release after he admitted to possessing child pornography images, according to the United State's Attorney.
In September 2022, Justin Packham, 34, of Shawnee pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography. Based on a cybertip, the Shawnee Police Department launched an investigation that revealed dozens of child pornography images had been uploaded into Google Drive using an email account in Packham’s name.
Using a subsequent search warrant for Packham’s residence, Shawnee investigators found more than 1,000 child pornography photos and videos on various electronic devices and thumb drives.
The U.S. Secret Service and the Shawnee Police Department investigated the case. Packham has been listed as registered violent offender since 2011 for a felony conviction for criminal discharge of a firearm at an occupied dwelling, according to the KBI Offender Registry.
