A northeastern Kansas man faces charges for child sex crimes.

 

Agents from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation arrested 39-year-old Dennis D. Dees of WaKeeney yesterday (Wednesday) morning on twenty-one charges of sexual exploitation of a child. Last Saturday, the WaKeeney Police Department requested the KBI investigate a case involving solicitation of a minor. The WaKeeney Police Department was initially contacted by the St. Croix Sheriff’s Office in Wisconsin about the case. During the investigation, evidence of illicit material was discovered on electronic devices belonging to Dees.

 

The suspect was booked into the Thomas County Jail in Colby. Anyone with information related to this investigation is asked to call the KBI at 1-800-KS-CRIME. Anonymous tips can also be submitted online at www.kbi.ks.gov/sar.
