Kenneth V. Lanning
CAC Consultants
4121 Plank Road #115
Fredericksburg, VA 22407
Credentials to Testify as an Expert
Concerning Sexual Victimization of Children
1. My name is Kenneth V. Lanning. I am over the age of twenty-one (21) years and the facts
stated are within my personal knowledge and are all true and correct.
2. I am currently a private consultant in the area of crimes against children.
3. My formal education is as follows:
•
B.B.A. (Accounting) Manhattan College, Bronx, New York (1962-1966).
•
Completed class work for Masters Degree (Criminal Justice) from Sam Houston State
University, Huntsville, Texas (1975-1978).
•
M.S. (Administration of Justice) California Lutheran College, Thousand Oaks, California
(1980).
• No academic institution teaches what I come to know about the behavioral dynamics of
the sexual victimization of children.
4. Before retiring in 2000, I was a Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
for more than 30 years. From 1970-1980, I was assigned to the St. Louis, San Antonio, and Los
Angeles Field Offices where I worked a wide variety of investigative matters. During this time
frame, however, few sexual victimization of children cases involved violations of Federal law
under the jurisdiction of the FBI. Therefore, little of my work during this time involved
investigating such cases.
5. In 1973, I received specialized training from the FBI and was designated a field "sex crimes"
police instructor. From 1973-1980, as a collateral responsibility I conducted training for local,
state, and federal law enforcement in the area of sex crimes. To expand my knowledge in this
area, I enrolled in graduate school, read books and articles, and interacted with law enforcement
investigators who conducted such investigations.
6. I received my first formal, specialized FBI training in the area of sexual exploitation of
children in 1979. The term sexual exploitation of children is generally used to refer to those
cases in which a non-family member victimizes the child.
7. In 1981, after obtaining my Masters Degree, I was assigned to the FBI Behavioral Science
Unit and the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (FBI BSU/NCAVC) at the FBI
Academy in Quantico, Virginia. The objective of this Unit was the practical application of
knowledge of the behavioral sciences to the investigative process. I was assigned there for the
next 20 years (1981-2000) and focused primarily on the sexual victimization of children. My
EFTA00188174
duties included analyzing and understanding how sex offenders commit their crimes and how
their child victims respond.
8. I have attended and participated in every major training program I am aware of concerning
sexual victimization of children inside and outside the FBI.
9. While in the FBI BSUNCAVC, my work involved conducting training, research, and case
consultation concerning the behavioral and criminal aspects of deviant sexual behavior. Each of
these components of my work complemented and supplemented the other. My expertise,
conclusions, and observations concerning offender and victim behavior are therefore based on
the totality of what I have learned from being simultaneously involved in training, research, and
case consultation in the same area for over 25 years.
10. Some significant aspects of the training component of my work include:
•
"One learns most when teaching others"
•
I was an adjunct instructor with the University of Virginia, University of Pennsylvania,
National College of District Attorneys, and National Judicial College
•
I provided instruction to law enforcement officers from all over the United States and
foreign countries attending the FBI National Academy in courses accredited by the
University of Virginia such as Applied Criminology, Criminal Profiling and Crime
Analysis, Interpersonal Violence and Sexual Victimization of Children.
•
I provided instruction to over 50,000 law enforcement officers, prosecutors, social
workers, mental health and medical personnel, judges, and other professionals at training
schools, seminars, and conferences conducted all over the United States and in foreign
countries on various aspects of the Sexual Victimization of Children (e.g., Deviant
Criminal Sexuality, Sexual Homicide, Abducted Children, Behavioral Analysis, Sexual
Exploitation of Children, Ritualistic Crime, Evaluation of Sex Offenders, Compliant
Child Victims, Child Pornography, Computer Exploitation, and Child Sex Rings).
11. Some significant aspects of the research component of my work include:
•
I conducted research on "Use of Children in Pornography" funded by National Center on
Child Abuse and Neglect, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
•
I was appointed a Senior Fellow Investigator by the University of Pennsylvania for a
research project on the Linkages of Sexual Exploitation and Juvenile Delinquency
Violence funded by Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, U.S.
Department of Justice (1984).
•
The results of this research and additional information were published in 1984 in a book
titled, Child Pornography and Sex Rings and I was a contributing author to this book.
•
I was assigned to the Advisory Staff of the U.S. Attorney General's Commission on
Pornography, U.S. Department of Justice (1986).
•
I was the Project Manager for the Serial Child Molester and Abductor Research Project
funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, U.S. Department of
Justice. This project included interviewing dozens of offenders convicted of such crimes.
2
EFTA00188175
• I accumulated hundreds of case studies involving the sexual victimization of children.
•
As an FBI Agent, when doing this research, I had access to detailed law enforcement and
other records (i.e., investigative reports, interviews of offenders and victims, crime scene
photographs, laboratory reports, medical reports, computer records, child pornography,
child erotica, collateral evidence, background information, pre-sentence evaluations,
prison records, etc.) that are not normally available to mental health professionals and
academic researchers.
• I have authored more than 30 articles, monographs, and book chapters (published in
"peer" reviewed publications) setting forth what I had learned about analyzing the
criminal aspects of deviant sexual behavior and understanding how sex offenders and
their child victims behave.
• I received the Jefferson Award for Research on "Ritualistic Abuse of Children" from the
University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia (1990).
•
Since August 2001, I have served on the Research Advisory Board of the FBI National
Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC) that evaluates and monitors research
on the sexual victimization of children.
12. Some significant aspects of the case consultation component of my work include:
• My job in the FBI BSU/NCAVC was not to investigate cases, but to consult on cases.
For the past 25 years, I have consulted on thousands of specific cases from all over the
United States and from many foreign countries and have been able to document broad
patterns of behavior in sexual victimization of children cases.
• I have analyzed thousands of cases and provided:
o investigative, prosecutive, and sentencing guidance;
o expert opinions, advice, and direction; and
o behavioral analysis
• I have provided this analysis to state and local police officers, FBI Agents, federal
investigators, prosecutors, mental health and medical professionals, social workers,
organizations providing access to children, defense attorneys, and civil attorneys.
• My case consultations included requests for assistance in
o the investigation and/or prosecution of criminal cases,
o the filing of civil litigation, and
o the development of procedures to protect children
• I have consulted on cases and situations involving child pornography, child sexual abuse,
incest, child sexual exploitation, child sex rings, compliant child victims, child
prostitution, Internet crimes against children, nuisance sex offenses, ritualistic abuse of
children, child abduction, sexual assault, rape, and sexual homicide.
•
As an FBI Agent, when doing these case consultations, I had access to detailed law
enforcement records (i.e., investigative reports, interviews of offenders and victims,
crime scene photographs, medical reports, laboratory reports, computer records, child
pornography, child erotica, collateral evidence, etc.) that are not normally available to
mental health professionals and academic researchers.
• My analysis and conclusions in these cases were based on objectively evaluating in
totality the most detailed and reliable information available.

My observations and analysis concerning compliant child victims were published in The
APSAC Advisor, Vol 14, No 2 (Spring 2002) and as a chapter in Viewing Child
Pornography on the Internet, Russell House Publishing, Dorset, United Kingdom (2005).
•
My observations and analysis concerning compliant child victims were presented at the
Forensic Symposium sponsored by the Institute of Law, Psychiatry, and Public Policy,
University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA (2003) and at the Psychological and Legal
Issues of Internet Abuse Images Conference, Department of Applied Psychology,
University College, Cork, Ireland (2004).
•
Professionals would not be utilizing my knowledge and expertise for so long if it had no
validity.

judicial/appellate standards.
•
Has been generally accepted by the relevant community of investigators and other
