WICHITA, KAN. – A registered sex offender is going back to prison for 188 months after federal law enforcement officers discovered child sexual abuse materials at his home, according to the United State's Attorney.
According to court documents, Scott Warren Vass, 57, of Arkansas City pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography.
In April 2023, while executing a search warrant at Vass’ home, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents seized multiple devices belonging to Vass containing child sexual abuse materials.
Further investigation revealed several of Vass’ Google accounts also contained sexually explicit depictions of minors under 12-years of age.
Vass has previous convictions in Montana for sexual assault in 1996 and has been registered as a sex offender in Kansas since 2023, according to the KBI Offender Registry.
