Description: Milwaukee, Wisconsin criminal defense attorney represented defendant charged with possession of child pornography.
Christopher J. Kone (age: 37) of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, was convicted on two counts of possession of child pornography.
Between July 20, 2020, and November 12, 2020, Kone was the focus of a joint human trafficking investigation between the Door County Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation. During the investigation, law enforcement located several pornographic images of a minor on his cellular telephone. Kone subsequently pled guilty to two counts of possession of child pornography, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2252A(5)(b).
In pronouncing sentence, Senior U.S. District Judge William C. Griesbach noted the serious nature of Kone’s crimes which involved sexual assault and attempted trafficking of a minor. The judge further highlighted the need to deter Kone and others from engaging in similar behavior. Following his release from prison, Kone will serve seven years on supervised release and will be required to register as a sexual offender under federal and state law.
This case was investigated by the Door County Sheriff’s Office and the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Erica J. Lounsberry, Alexander E. Duros, and Daniel R. Humble.
