Park Resident Convicted Of Possessing Child Pornography

From NPS Incidents:
GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK
On March 6th, rangers responded to the Bright Angel Lodge to investigate a report of a found cellular phone with images of child pornography on it.  Prior to the arrival of the rangers, the phone’s owner, a local resident and registered sexual offender, came and collected his phone from the lodge staff.  The rangers immediately contacted an on-call special agent with the Investigative Services Branch. A cooperative investigation was begun by ISB agents and park rangers. Several interviews were conducted and later the same day a federal search warrant was served at the man’s residence, located in one of the park’s concession dormitories. Printed child pornography and a number of electronic items containing files of child pornography were seized. On March 21st, Timothy Veach, 33, of Grand Canyon, was convicted of receipt of child pornography and was sentenced to 97 months imprisonment.  Upon release from prison in 2018, Veach will be on lifetime supervised probation.

That's a fast-tracked case...
