A federal jury in Wichita has convicted a western Kansas man of child exploitation charges.
The verdict was returned Wednesday for 49-year-old Daniel Kroeker of Dighton. He was found guilty of receiving child pornography via his social media account in July, 2019. Prosecutors said Kroeker had a laptop and cell phone with pornographic images of a child under 12 when agents conducted a search in December, 2020.
Kroeker is scheduled for sentencing on April 24th and he faces up to 20 years in prison.
The case was investigated by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the North Dakota Bureau of Investigation and Homeland Security Investigations of North Dakota.
