An FBI analyst has been accused of distributing child pornography in a disturbing case that’s left his neighbors wanting answers.
A task force made up of FBI agents and D.C. police officers busted Keith Dietterle. The 28-year-old will appear for a preliminary hearing Tuesday.
Dietterle is accused of sending child pornography to another man he met in a chat room frequented by individuals who have a sexual interest children. But the person Dietterle was allegedly speaking with was a D.C. police detective.
According to court documents, agents say Dietterle thought he was communicating with a man who claimed to be sexually abusing a 3-year-old nephew and 12-year-old daughter. The detective wrote he and Dietterle discussed a possible meeting with the “children” for sex. Over a two week period, Dietterle sent three images via Yahoo instant messenger depicting child pornography, court documents state.
Hopefully Dietterle will be put away for a long, long time.
