Grand jury files new charges against Albuquerque balloon pilot accused of child sex crimes.
A federal grand jury filed a superseding indictment Wednesday charging Albuquerque balloon pilot Bentley Streett, 39, with more federal sex crimes against minors.
He had previously been arrested on Oct. 3 of last year and was indicted Oct. 21 on two counts of coercion of a minor and two counts of transferring obscene matter to minors.
Wednesday’s filing charges Streett with nine counts relating to either engaging in sexual conduct with minors or trying to obtain pornography from them.
He faces two counts of interstate travel to engage in illicit sexual conduct with minors; four counts of attempted production of visual depictions of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct; and three counts of transferring obscene matter to minors.
The first two counts allege Streett traveled to Illinois in July and August 2013 to have sexual relations with a female minor.
Two counts allege he tried to persuade another female minor to send him child pornography in Sept and Dec. 2013, and two other counts allege he tried to persuade a third female minor to send him child pornography in Nov. 2013
One of the counts says Streett “transferred obscene material” to the first female, and two other counts say he did the same to the third female victim.
Busted! Good!
Alan, does the dates of these offenses bother you like they do me???? This isn’t city court for a speeding ticket, where more money will buy you more time.
With what I see, he should have been denied bail a good many charges ago.
Like our Mental health system there is a revolving door! In 2 years at the state mental hospital in Nebraska I impressed a couple of folks 6 times!
Throw the book at him, he is not safe to ever let out.
This is a prime example of the lax laws the CRONYIES have in place, and people think Our Children are protected.
