Back in
March 2012 E.G., a Houston (Texas) Resident, entered a plea of guilty
for producing and advertising child pornography, producing child
pornography as far back as 2002 as well as advertising those images for
sale via the Internet. The case was initiated following an anonymous
tip to
crime stoppers advising of an adult male being indecent with young boys. The
investigation revealed he manipulated four (possibly more) boys for the
purposes of capturing their images and then advertising those images
for sale on the WorldWideWeb.
The exploitation continued for years and
allowed Gladney to create
thousands of images and hundreds of videos of
young children which were disseminated via the Internet. The images and
videos included graphic depictions of boys in provocative positions and
boys and adults engaging in oral and anal sex.
Additionally, Gladney had collected thousands of images and videos containing children other than his personal victims,
one of the which included a forcible sexual assault of a young boy in which the screams of the child can be heard.
The
charges are the result of an investigation conducted by members of the
Innocent Images Unit of the FBI, including task force officers from
the
Houston Police Department, which focuses its attention on investigating
offenses involving the
exploitation of children via the Internet.
This case, prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney
Sherri Zack, was brought as part of
Project Safe Childhood,
a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of
Justice to combat the
growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation andabuse.

| Pedophile Gladney |
Investigators
in the
Houston Police Department Juvenile Division have arrested a male
suspect for possession of child pornography and believe other children
were victimized
too.
The suspect, Edward G. has been charged with 5 counts of possession of child
pornography in the
230th State District Court. A photo of G. is
attached to this news release because investigators believe there may
be other victims who might be able to recognize the suspected Pedophile.
HPD Juvenile Division
Senior Police Officer J. Barnes reported:
On
June 16, a search warrant was executed on G’s home at
13927 Grafton Bridge Lane. During the course of the search, multiple
pornographic photographs were found in the suspect’s residence. G. admitted the photographs had been taken in his car, a 2003 Tan with Texas license plates.
G. was arrested the following day (June 17).
Investigators
believe that photos found in the suspect’s possession indicated there
are other children he might have had contact with.
Anyone with
information on other possible victims is urged to call the HPD Juvenile
Division at 713-731-5335.
LATEST: Edward G. has been sentenced to serve a total of 720 months inprison following his convictions for producing and advertising childpornography
