DES MOINES, IA – A District Court Judge in Des Moines, Monday, sentenced a West Des Moines man to prison for Possession of Child Pornography. Officials say 33-year old Bryant Dale Voss received a sentence of 84 months (7 years), followed by five years of supervised release once he serves his sentence. He must also comply with sex offender registry requirements upon release.

An investigation into Voss began in July 2017 when law enforcement were operating a law enforcement version of the file sharing program BitTorrent in an undercover capacity. Agents
located child pornography files available for sharing from Voss’ computer and downloaded multiple files from him in July 2017. Voss knew that his file sharing program made certain child
pornography files on his computer available to others to download. Subsequently, investigators executed a search warrant at Voss’ West Des Moines residence where they seized his computers and electronic devices.

The investigation showed that Voss knowingly possessed hundreds of images and ten videos of child pornography on an external hard drive and used his computer to knowingly access and view videos of child pornography.
