Former SEK sheriff's deputy indicted for producing child pornography

KANSAS CITY, KAN.  – A federal grand jury in Kansas City, Kansas, returned an indictment charging a Kansas man with producing child sexual abuse materials. 

According to court documents, Garrett Gayoso, 25, of Baxter Springs, was indicted on one count of sexual exploitation of a child – production of child pornography.

Gayoso allegedly enticed and coerced a minor under 16 years of age to engage in sexually explicit activity for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct.

After his initial appearance, Gayoso went before a federal judge for a detention hearing and was ordered to be remanded into custody until his trial which will take place in Wichita. 

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) is investigating the case.
