NE Federal Appeals Court Denies Child Porn Victim Seeking Restitution

ne-court-of-appealsA federal appeals court has rejected a child pornography victim’s effort to get nearly $1 million in restitution from a Lincoln man convicted of having pictures depicting her abuse.

A woman named only as “Vicky” in court filings has documented $1.2 million in losses from the distribution of the images and has filed for restitution in more than 200 federal criminal cases across the country. She has collected nearly $272,000.

A Nebraska court ordered she be paid nearly $20,000 by Robert Fast, who was convicted in 2011 after investigators found child pornography at his home, including images of Vicky.

Fast appealed, and the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the restitution. Upon re-sentencing, Fast was ordered to pay $3,333. She appealed, and the 8th Circuit on Monday rejected it.
