A man was sentenced today to 20 years in prison for transporting child sexual abuse materials using social media applications. Wilkes also had a number of “up-skirt” images of children he was entrusted with from his church community. This case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations, and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations. Thankfully, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations (MBI) have taken up this cause and joined forces to push such perversion out of this great State. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice.
