photos and videos of children being
sexually abused by adults online,
prosecutors announced.
Howard Stapley, 40, pleaded guilty
in September to 125 counts of promoting
a sexual performance by a child
and 171 counts of possessing a sexual
performance by a child. He was sentenced
to 4 to 12 years in prison and
must register as a sex off ender upon
his release from prison.
According to charges, Stapley
began to date a woman, who has
not been identifi ed, in August 2015.
About a month into the relationship,
Stapley told her to download the KIK
app, a mobile instant messaging app,
onto her cellphone.
Once she installed the app onto her
phone, Stapley immediately began
sending her photographs and video
clips of young children being molested
by adults.
Stapley’s messages to the woman
included his desire to have sexual
relationships with “animals to kids
to groups.” Stapley would also talk
about sharing a bed with a family – a
woman and her three children – and
his desire for all of them to have
group sex.
As noted in the criminal complaint,
Stapley told the woman through text
that “I enjoy the idea of converting
you into a pedophile.” He further
began to teach the woman how to take
explicit photos of children and how
to sexually molest a child in a public
bathroom.
Stapley also went as far as urging
the woman to place babysitting ads
so the two of them could molest the
children that were in her care.
When the woman went to the police,
an investigator used a forensic
tool on her phone and found that Stapley
had sent her at least 33 pictures
and videos with children between
the ages of two and eight being
sexually assaulted by adult males.
During this time, Stapley continued
to send the woman more child sexual
abuse material through text and the
KIK app.
On Sept. 30, 2015, police executed a
search warrant of Stapley’s home and
recovered his laptop and cellphone.
A forensic examination of the laptop
found at least 46 videos of young children
being sexually assaulted by men,
plus more than 125 photographs and
videos of children between the ages
of two and 12 being sexually abused
by men on his cellphone.
When Stapley was arrested, he
stated that he was using the KIK app
to communicate with others and to
trade fi les of child sex abuse. He also
admitted to creating two group chats
on KIK to share and comment on child
sexual abuse material with others
that he allowed to join the group.
“These kinds of graphic and sick
photos are for all intents and purposes
crime scene images,” said District
Attorney Richard A. Brown. “Several
victim impact statements from the
children identifi ed in the online images
were read in Court illustrating the trauma
they endured and the continued torture
they go through every day knowing
these images are being shared with
others. The defendant also shared his
desire to breed children in order to sexually
abuse them. This kind of depravity
will not be tolerated. The defendant
in this case has been sentenced and will
be locked away from civilized society.”
