Rogers Man Pleads Guilty to Child Porn Charges

A Rogers Man pleaded guilty Monday to more than a dozen felony child pornography charges.

According to Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, 25-year-old Kile Devon Licause was sentenced to 25 years in prison with an additional 10 years suspended after pleading guilty to 15 counts of distributing, possessing or viewing matter depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child.

As a condition of his plea, Licause will also be required to register as a sex offender.

"With this guilty plea, the defendant will no longer have the opportunity to cause harm to our children through his criminal actions," McDaniel said. "Our Cyber Crimes Unit will continue to investigate, arrest and pursue convictions of those who would exploit our most vulnerable citizens in such a manner."

Licause was arrested at his Rogers home in October 2011 after admitting to Cyber Crime Agents that he had images of child pornography on his laptop.

The Benton County Sheriff's Office along with Rogers and Little Flock Police assisted the Attorney General in the investigation and arrest.

The case was prosecuted by Benton County Prosecuting Attorney Van Stone.
