Child Sexual Abuse Images Tied To Burke Man: Police

BURKE, VA — A Burke man is facing charges related to a child pornography possession investigation, according to Fairfax County Police.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children had been notified of a potentially illicit image uploaded to a Dropbox account. When the account was tied to a resident in Fairfax County, Major Crimes Bureau detectives were notified in August. Detectives conducted a search warrant on the Dropbox account and found additional images of child sexual abuse.

Search warrants led detectives to identify the Dropbox account owner as Stefan Bieret, 41, of Burke, who works for the sergeant-at-arms of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Detectives conducted a search warrant Wednesday and arrested Bieret. He was charged with ten counts of possession of child pornography and was taken to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. He is being held without bond.

Detectives seized multiple electronics from his residence. The investigation will continue for the additional digital evidence. Additional charges will be determined after consultation with the Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney's office.

Anyone with information about incidents involving Bieret or other child exploitation incidents can contact the Major Crimes Bureau at 703-246-7800, option 6.
