WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) -- A Kansas child sexual exploitation case has ended with four people pleading guilty, including a former Kansas police chief. Investigators said the four were involved in producing child pornography. The investigation began after a cyber tip about alleged sexual exploitation of children through electronic devices. Former police chief Joel Womochil (Photo provided by El Dorado Police Department) Joel Womochil, the former Burns police chief, faced almost three dozen charges at one point. He resigned as police chief on Aug. 8, 2023, eight days before he was charged. The other charges were dismissed after he pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit sexual exploitation of a child - production of child pornography. Last week, U.S. District Judge John Broomes sentenced him to 60 years in prison and restitution of $529,050. At Womochil's request, Broomes recommends that he be sent to a federal prison that offers the Sex Offender Management Program.
