Milwaukee, Wisconsin criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with Distributing Child Pornography
Green Bay Man Sentenced to 60 Months’ Imprisonment for Distributing Child Pornography

Bryan S. Peterson (Age: 46) of Green Bay, Wisconsin, a former high school football coach and Oneida Tribal Court Bailiff, was accused of distributing sexually explicit images of minors online.

In early 2024, investigators identified an online account, later determined to be used by Peterson, which had received and distributed child pornography. On February 21, 2024, federal agents executed a search warrant at Peterson’s residence and recovered numerous electronic devices containing sexualized conversations concerning children and images depicting child pornography.

At the sentencing hearing, Senior United States District Judge William C. Griesbach noted the serious nature of the offense and a strong need to deter Peterson and others who might engage in similar crimes. After serving his five-year term of imprisonment, Peterson will spend seven years on supervised release and will be required to register as a sexual offender under state and federal law.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006, by the U.S. Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
