KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — An appeals court says an imprisoned Kansas child pornographer must liquidate his union retirement account and apply that money he tried to hide from the court to restitution to the victims.
Wednesday’s ruling by a Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel upholds a federal judge’s ruling against 54-year-old Philip Grigsby.
Grigsby, formerly of Marquette, is serving more than 21 years in prison on eight counts of sexual exploitation of a child, as well as a gun count and charge of child porn possession.
A judge later ordered Grigsby to pay $140,000 restitution to a victim and her mother. After sentencing, Grigsby’s $53,000 retirement account he concealed during proceedings in the porn case was discovered during his divorce, and a judge ordered it liquidated.
