ALEXANDRIA, Va. – A Vienna man pleaded guilty today to multiple charges related to his possession of images of child sexual abuse and attempted transfer of obscene material to minors.
According to court documents, in 2005, Alan Tabish, 36, met a 15-year-old girl online. Tabish picked up the minor girl from her parents’ residence, and drove her to his home, where he provided her with alcohol and then recorded images and videos of himself engaging in sexual conduct with her. The victim reported the incident in 2019, which led law enforcement to discover the images and videos on a computer hard drive in Tabish’s home. Additional online chats were recovered from this hard drive in which Tabish sent sexually explicit images of himself to individuals who identified themselves as minor girls.
Tabish pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and the attempted transfer of obscene material to minors and faces a sentence of 7 to 12 years in prison when sentenced on June 23.
