Xenia man sent to prison for child porn possession

DAYTON — A Xenia man whose laptop computer held more than 800 images of child pornography was sentenced Friday to 78 months in federal prison.

Kenneth Brewer, 68, pleaded guilty May 9 to one count of child pornography. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Rose.

FBI agents contacted and questioned Brewer at his Xenia residence in September 2008. Brewer admitted to having images of nude children on his laptop, according to the statement of facts.

A forensic analysis of Brewer’s laptop computer revealed more than 800 images of child pornography, according to the statement of facts.

Brewer’s laptop and peripheral computer equipment and devices were forfeited as part of his plea agreement, according to Carter M. Stewart, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys Offices, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children.

Former WPAFB worker pleads guilty to sex crime involving child

DAYTON — A man who worked as a civilian child care worker for a Wright-Patterson Air Force Base program pleaded guilty Monday to a count of gross sexual imposition of a child under the age of 13.

The case was not related to Timothy Albritton’s employment at the base. Albritton, 22, was to go on trial Monday in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court. A rape charge was dismissed under the plea agreement.

Albritton will be sentenced Feb. 14 by Judge Mary Katherine Huffman. Under the plea agreement reached between defense attorneys and prosecutors, Albritton will be sentenced between 12 and 60 months in prison, and will be designated a Tier 2 sexual offender.

The victim in the case is a girl who was 4 at the time of the abuse. The report was made in Dayton, where police said a woman told them she left her daughter with Albritton for about 15 minutes.

After Albritton’s Aug. 24 arrest, a base official confirmed that the suspect worked with children there during the summer. The official told WHIO-TV that Albritton worked in their youth and community centers, but would have been supervised and not left alone with children.
