WICHITA, KAN. – A federal jury convicted a Kansas man Wednesday on child exploitation charges, according to the United State's Attorney.
The jury found Daniel Kroeker, 49, of Dighton, guilty of receiving child pornography via his social media account in July 2019.
The jury also found he possessed a laptop and cell phone containing pornographic images of a child younger than the age of 12 when agents conducted a search in December 2020.
Kroeker is scheduled to be sentenced on April 24 and faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on each count. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
