Description: Milwaukee, WI: Criminal defense lawyer represented defendant charged with distribution of child pornography.
Natalie J. Ticho (age: 25) of Wausau, Wisconsin, was charged with distribution of child pornography.
On November 17, 2020, undercover investigators received digital images of child pornography from an online user named “kiikii_24.” “Kiikii_24” also engaged in explicit conversations concerning the sexual abuse of children with the undercover investigators. It was subsequently determined that “kiikii_24” was, in fact, Natalie J. Ticho. A search warrant was obtained for Ticho’s residence and electronic devices. A review of those items revealed hundreds of images of child pornography and several online accounts used for the purpose of obtaining and distributing illegal images.
At sentencing, Judge Griesbach noted the serious nature of the charge and the need for just punishment for such a “terrible crime.” Following her release from prison, Ticho will spend ten years on supervised release. She will also be required to register as a sexual offender.
Ticho’s arrest and subsequent conviction were part of Operation Kick Boxer, a collaborative effort involving the Milwaukee Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, and the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office.
