The United States District Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado announced Tuesday that a former Fort Carson soldier has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for producing child pornography.The DA's office says that Joh n Paul Barsch III, 31, pleaded guilty to performing sex acts on an infant or toddler in his care multiple times between November 2018 and March 2020 while actively serving in Colorado Springs.Creating videos of those activities and sending them to at least one other person in the United Kingdom. Barsch was discovered after investigators arrested and searched the individual's devices in the United Kingdom, revealing that they had conversations with Barsch to obtain the video.Homeland Security Investigations will not tolerate the vile and reprehensible exploitation of children, especially by those entrusted with their care. The sentencing of this individual sends a clear and unyielding message: no position of authority or service will shield predators from the full force of justice, said HSI Denver Special Agent in Charge Steve Cagen. Let this serve as a stark warning, there is no place in our society for such heinous acts, and we will stop at nothing to protect our children and uphold the rule of law."_______Watch KOAA News5 on your time, anytime with our free streaming app available for your Roku, FireTV, AppleTV and Android TV.
