United States of America v. Guy Lynn Wilson

Omaha, Nebraska criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with one count of attempted production of child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2251(a) and 2251(e).



In October 2020, Wilson moved into a house with his then-girlfriend and her

two minor children, including her daughter B.Z. Wilson and his girlfriend stayed in

one bedroom, while B.Z. and the other minor each had their own. The home had

only one bathroom.



Wilson installed cameras throughout the home. Some he displayed openly, for

security and to monitor his pets. But Wilson hid others, placing them in vents in

B.Z.'s room and the bathroom. The cameras filmed B.Z. undressing, touching her

vagina, and using the toilet. He also positioned the cameras to capture videos of B.Z.

that showed her buttocks, pubic area, and breasts. And he took, and saved,

screenshots from the video footage of her genitals and pubic area.



A grand jury returned an indictment charging Wilson with attempted

production of child pornography, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2251(a) and 2251(e).2

The case proceeded to trial, where Wilson argued that he lacked the requisite intent

and that the images he captured did not constitute child pornography. At the close of

the government's case in chief and at the close of the evidence, Wilson moved for

judgment of acquittal. The court denied both motions.

The jury convicted the Defendant and he was sentenced to the custody of the BOP for a term of 240 months with a 5 year term of supervised release to follow. $100 Special Assessment. $3,000.00 AVAA Assessment.
