According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office - Southern District of Texas, Stephen P. Keller, 74, logged into a web video meeting in March 2021, which “included more than 20 minutes” of child pornography videos. He was one of several participants in the meeting, the charges claim.
In February 2022, law enforcement officials raided his Kingwood home, where court records say Keller admitted “to participating in more than five web video meetings which involved the streaming of child pornography.”
Additionally, the 74-year-old admitted to receiving child porn videos through encrypted messaging apps on his cellphone.

Keller pleaded guilty to the charges in November 2023 and a judge ordered him to spend 120 months in prison, followed by 15 years of “supervised release” after completing his prison terms.
