Rabes was stationed at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs at the time of the offense. According to Air Force authorities, Rabes was then transferred to South Korea for a year, and then finally transferred to Offutt Air force Base Strategic Command where he worked as a computer security specialist.
One of the images on Rabes' computer was identified as a known victim living in Colorado Springs. Further investigation by ICE, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the Colorado Springs Police Department determined that Rabes' ex-wife had operated a day-care facility from their residence in Colorado Springs from December 1998 until December 2004.
On Nov. 15, 2000, unknown to his ex-wife, Rabes engaged in illicit sexual activities with a young girl who attended the day care facility.
Acting on leads, the Nebraska State Patrol and Air Force Office of Special Investigations executed a state search warrant in December 2004 at Rabes' residence in La Vista, Neb., looking for evidence of child pornography violations. They also seized Rabes' computer equipment. Subsequent forensic analysis of his computer discovered more than 30,000 illegal pornographic images of children.
Investigators from the Colorado Springs Police Department said in court documents Rabes snapped pictures of a nude 4-year-old girl in the basement of his Colorado Springs home in November 2000.
He was sentenced to more than 10 years in a federal prison for taking pornographic pictures of a 4-year-old girl.
