Child Sexual Abuse, Possession of Pornography in Waukesha County; Teen accused

Prosecutors said the images showed victims between the ages of 6 months and 12 years old.

The complaint states that information related to the Snapchat account — specifically the email address — led them to the teen, who was listed as a suspect in a previous child pornography investigation. The case is “currently closed,” according to court records.

In July, the sheriff’s department received a second cyber tip related to the teen, in which four files of suspected child pornography were uploaded to a Dropbox account.

Investigators spoke with the teenager. Prosecutors said he told them he learned about child pornography through online groups, including the Telegram platform, and had been involved in those groups for years up to that point.

During the investigation, the complaint states the teen admitted to sexually assaulting a 4-year-old child. The teen said he showed the child porn and the child then touched the teen inappropriately.
