34-year-old Kyle A. Riggs of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin was recently sentenced to 12 1/2 years behind bars. He pleaded guilty to distributing child porn on the mobile messaging app Kik.
I don’t know if you’ve heard yet, but Kik has kind of a reputation of being an app that’s widely used by sex offenders, pedophiles, and child porn collectors.
Riggs was said to have approached an undercover investigator on Kik who was posing as an 11-year-old girl. Not only did Riggs say that he wanted to have sex (child rape) with the girl but he wanted to record it. He also sent some child porn to the ‘girl’. Riggs is also accused of sexually assaulting an actual underage girl and is set to face charges for that offense later.
At his sentencing, Riggs reportedly blamed his predatory ways on marijuana and alcohol. I wonder if the presiding judge had to stifle an audible laugh when that was said.
