WICHITA —A Kansas man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for producing child sexual abuse materials while engaging in acts of voyeurism.

According to court documents, Clell Lacy, 78, of Wichita pleaded guilty to one count of sexual exploitation of a child (production of child pornography).

In May 2024, Lacy used closed-circuit recording devices to surreptitiously record two minor teenagers engaging in sexual acts. He then used the Secure Digital (SD) card from the camera to print images, which he stored at his home. In August 2024, these materials were discovered and reported to law enforcement.

The Wichita Police Department and Kansas Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) investigated the case
