KINGMAN — A Kingman woman has berated the man who involved her kids in child pornography. At his December 12 sentencing hearing, she called Scott Dickinson a perverted, predatory pedophile who took advantage of children who trusted and looked up to him for his sick and twisted personal pleasure.
“What he did to my children is a mom’s worst nightmare,” she said.
Dickinson pleaded guilty in October to sexual conduct with a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor and two counts reduced to attempted sexual conduct with a minor in a plea deal dictating a near four-decade prison term. He admitted victimizing two young children at his East Siesta Road residence.
Investigation determined that an image of a 10-11-year-old boy found in Tim Basford’s cell phone in London in Great Britan in February had been taken at Dickinson’s home in Kingman.
A Probable Cause statement indicated that Dickinson and Basford openly communicated about molesting children in text message exchanges. It said that the defendant’s home computer contained about 100 videos of child sexual abuse material, 94 of them featuring the same six-year-old girl being violated in Dickinson’s home.
Dickinson reportedly admitted making the videos that range from 20 seconds to 24 minutes in length.
Deputy county attorney Karolina Czaplinska said it is disturbing that illegal material created in Kingman was “disseminated to others across the globe.”
The mother said her daughter suffers ongoing nightmares and views all men as monsters.
“This is the kind of case that stands out,” said Mohave County Superior Court judge Lee Jantzen. He imposed the 37-year prison term followed by lifetime probation punishment components mandated in the plea agreement.
Jantzen told Dickinson that his life is over, and that the extensive incarceration is a fair resolution of his case.
