MISSOURI<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"A federal jury convicted a Missouri man Wednesday for running four websites dedicated to sharing images of child sexual abuse, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

According to court evidence presented at trial, Clint Robert Schram, 54, of Kansas City, hosted, managed, and maintained four websites from his home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Each of these websites operated over the \u201cdark web,\u201d and each was devoted to advertising, distributing, and exchanging images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of children. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the websites allowed members to post images of children as young as two years old, and another had no restrictions on the types of child sexual abuse images that could be shared. <\/span><\/p>\n

Schram advertised and distributed child sexual abuse images over these websites, and he recruited, managed, and directed different tiers of \u201cstaff\u201d members who helped run the websites.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 12 and faces up to life in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI\u2019s Child Exploitation Operational Unit and Kansas City Field Office investigated the case.<\/span><\/p>\n
