A Kansas City man was sentenced to 245 years in prison for drugging and molesting 13 children, with some of the sexual abuse videotaped, over a four-year period.
Federal records state that Edwards also admitted to using his young son to "unwittingly lure victims and their friends to his home for sleepovers."
Edwards created multiple videos of his serial molestation of 13 victims, whose ages at the time of their molestations ranged from 6 years to 13 years old. Evidence indicated one girl may have been victimized as young as 4 years old.
Prosecutors said the victims in the videos appear drugged and are obviously unconscious even though their bodies are being subjected to a variety of molestations.
Often the children were in bed with other children
Edwards was caught in two separate undercover sting operations in 2009 by two different law enforcement agencies that were investigating the use of file-sharing programs to trade child
.
He was downloading child from the internet, using a peer-to-peer file-sharing program that allowed files on his computer to be downloaded by other users. As a result of these undercover operations, Edwards was identified and arrested.
The subsequent investigation uncovered the sexual abuse of the children who had been drugged and molested.
In May 2009, an FBI task force officer in Oklahoma City, OK, identified the IP address of Edwards' computer, which was making multiple files with titles alluding to child available for sharing over the internet. The officer downloaded several files of child , which depicted a known child victim. This conduct is the basis for the charge of advertising child .
In June 2009, a detective with the Independence, MO, Police Department also captured Edwards' computer IP address, during a separate investigation, making multiple images of child available to others to download. This conduct is the basis for the charge of attempted distribution of child .
A federal search warrant was obtained and Edwards' computer media was seized in October 2009, and a forensic examination of an external hard drive revealed many additional images of child.
