Spokane Police are actively searching for 24 year old Kevin W. Kiowski. Kiowski (who also uses Jankiowski as a last name) is accused of soliciting and exchanging sexual images with a minor. Kevin met a then 15 year old online while living in Mississippi. Kiowski sold his vehicle and traveled to Spokane in order to further the relationship.

Prosecutors have issued a felony warrant for Communicating with a Minor for Immoral Purposes (RCW 9.68a.090).

Spokane Police believe Kevin is a threat to the youth of our community. We need your help to take him into custody ASAP. Kevin has no ties to Spokane and may attempt to return to Mississippi.

If you have information on Kevin’s whereabouts, please call Det. Woodyard at 363-8219. Or Crime Check at 456-2233
