A Kansas man was sentenced to 108 months in prison for distribution of child pornography.
According to court documents, Bardia Behravesh, 46, of Mission, Kansas admitted in pleading guilty that he knowingly distributed videos of child pornography online through various apps and file-sharing programs. The videos and images included minors under the age of twelve and depictions of violence. After agents discovered Behravesh sharing this content, they obtained a search warrant of
his home and discovered multiple electronics which contained images and videos of child pornography.
In addition to 108 months of imprisonment, his sentence included a $74,000 restitution award to the victims depicted in the images and videos, a $35,000 assessment pursuant to the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Victim Assistance Act of 2018 and $5,000 assessment pursuant to the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) investigated the case.
