United States of America v. Benjamin Charles Fisher

Wichita, Kansas, criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with distribution of child pornography.

Benjamin Charles Fisher, 44, of Clearwater, admitted to using a social media messaging platform to correspond with other sex offenders to trade child sexual abuse materials. He used multiple alias accounts and connected to the internet from his home and from his work while committing his crimes.

The Wichita Police Department and Kansas Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Hart prosecuted the case.

The Defendant was sentenced to 240 months imprisonment, 5 years supervised release, and must pay $100 assessment and $30,500 restitution.


As part of his sentence, a federal judge ordered Fisher to pay $30,500 in restitution.

“Our office is extremely pleased with the sentence in this case which is the statutory maximum for the offense,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser. “By using different names and logging onto the internet from multiple locations, Mr. Fisher thought his crimes would go undetected and unpunished by the justice system. What he didn’t plan on was the tenacity of our highly skilled law enforcement partners and prosecution, which is why Mr. Fisher will be spending the next 20 years in prison. It does not matter how someone tries to cover up their activity, we are committed to getting justice in these cases.”
