Suspected sex offender extradited Detectives from the Washington State Patrol’s Missing and Exploited Children’s Task Force (MECTF) returned from Nebraska Fri., April 20, after extraditing a suspect in a child pornography case that originated in Port Orchard. Kevin T. Morrissey, 55, was booked into the Kitsap County Jail and is expected to face multiple charges of possession and distribution of child sex images. A two-year-long investigation involving detectives from MECTF and the Department of Homeland Security immigrations and customs enforcement concluded with a search warrant being served on the suspect’s Port Orchard residence in Jan. 2010. Detectives recovered thousands of child sex images and videos and the suspect was charged by the Kitsap County prosecutor’s office with possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The suspect failed to appear and a $100,000 warrant was issued for his arrest. The suspect was arrested on Jan. 12 near Fremont, Nebraska. Following a 28-minute chase, the suspect began stabbing himself in the neck and leg, police said.
