A former deputy general counsel in Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey's office pleads guilty to federal child pornography charges. Chase Tristian Espy, 36, faces up to 20 years in prison.
Once Espy was arrested, his cell phone was seized, and a search warrant was obtained. From that search, approximately 69 videos and four images of child sexual abuse material were found.
“The hard work of the agents involved in this case reflect how local, state, and federal law enforcement are committed to protecting children from predators,” Escalona said. “Possessing child pornography is not a ‘victimless’ crime. Each time images of the innocent are shared or viewed, the child is re-victimized.”
The FBI Birmingham’s Child Exploitation Human Trafficking Task Force, the Homewood Police Department, and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency took part in the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys R. Leann White and Jonathan Cross are prosecuting the case “The FBI is committed to protecting our children from sexual abuse and exploitation, and we will continue to work with our partners to bring to justice those who would prey on our most vulnerable,” Rivera said.
