Officer David Dass Guilty of Online Enticement of Child

An Omaha police officer has been convicted of using the Internet to lure what he believed was a 14-year-old girl into having sex.

A Sarpy County jury found 25-year-old David Kass guilty of online enticement on Wednesday.

Kass was arrested at his Omaha home in July. La Vista police detectives said Kass initiated an online conversation with an undercover investigator posing as a 14-year-old girl. Detectives say the conversation was of a graphic, sexual nature.

Kass had argued that he thought he was talking to an adult during the explicit online chat.

Kass has been with the Omaha Police Department since 2006.

He is scheduled to be sentenced in March. Kass faces a maximum of 5 years in prison.
