Judge threw Man to Federal Prison for 6 Decades after founding Guilty of Child Pornography in Nebraska
A Lincoln man was sentenced by a senior federal judge to 60 years in prison for the production and possession of child pornography. Additionally, he will be subject to a lifetime of supervised release.
Warren Coker, also known as Amikhet En Maati, 53, has been sentenced for his involvement in the production and possession of child pornography. The charges involve two separate victims. In addition, he received two more counts due to his prior convictions and registration on the Sex Offender Registry.
Maati is required to make a payment of $6,000 to a federal fund that provides support to victims of child exploitation crimes.
In September 2022, the Lincoln Police Department was alerted to a disturbing incident involving Maati and a minor, according to the Nebraska U.S. Attorney’s Office. LPD later discovered that Maati had also been the focus of a recent tip to the FBI.
Authorities conducted a search of Maati’s residence and confiscated his cellphone, where they uncovered disturbing videos involving the exploitation of children. The videos were uploaded and shared on a cloud-storage website, allowing a friend, who is also a registered sex offender, to have access to them.
Parole is not applicable in the federal system.
In 1997, Maati had a prior conviction for attempted sexual assault of a child in Douglas County District Court. After two years, he was found guilty of second-degree sexual assault and sexual assault of a child in Sarpy County District Court.
The case was filed as part of Project Safe Childhood, which was established in May 2006. The U.S. Department of Justice has launched a nationwide initiative to address the alarming issue of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
The initiative is led by the U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS). It aims to coordinate government resources in order to locate, apprehend, and prosecute criminals, as well as provide assistance in identifying and rescuing victims.
