Case Style: United States of America v. Jeffrey Feldman

Case Number: 2:14-cv-00721-LA

Judge: Lynn S. Adelman

Court: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin

Plaintiff's Attorney: Karine Moreno-Taxman

Defendant's Attorney: Christopher D Donovan, Jacob A. Manian, and Matthew W. O'Neill

Description: James L. Santelle, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced today that Jeffrey Feldman (age: 48), of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, pled guilty today to an indictment charging him with one count of receipt of child pornography.

According to the plea agreement, in January of 2013, Federal Bureau of Investigation special agents detected Feldman sharing files containing child pornography over the Internet via a peer-2-peer network. Based in part on this information, law enforcement agents obtained a search warrant for Feldman’s residence, where they recovered numerous encrypted computers and electronic storage devices. Subsequent decryption and forensic analysis of those devices revealed that Feldman had knowingly received thousands of child pornography image and video files via the Internet, including the files charged in the indictment.

Sentencing is scheduled for July 10, 2015, before United States District Court Judge Lynn S. Adelman of the Eastern District of Wisconsin. At the conclusion of today’s hearing, the defendant was remanded into federal custody.

In announcing today’s plea, United States Attorney Santelle stated: “The plea entered today by Jeffrey Feldman is a reflection not only of his acknowledgment of guilt for his receipt of substantial amounts of child pornography but also of the focused and effective work of investigators and prosecutors in bringing him to justice. In partnership with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Criminal Division of the United States Department of Justice, our office remains committed to this high priority mission - that is, identifying and stopping people who prey on our children, victimizing them, their families, and the communities in which we all live and work.”
