Taylor Ryan Keele was a mormon in Farmington, Utah. Keele used his work computer to download CSAM, for 20 years. Originally charged with Possession of CSAM and distribution of CSAM, made a plea deal July 2019, to drop the distribution charge and was sentenced to 54 months in prison. There was nearly 10,000 images of CSAM sent out from his computer.
Keeles defense attorney said “Keele realized he had a problem and was trying to address it with religious leaders.”
Floodlit is trying to find out what church leaders knew and when.
We have searched the Utah exchange website for court records but we are not able to find any matching for this case.
