Federal grand jury indicts Sheboygan man on charges of producing, possessing child porn
SHEBOYGAN – A 31-year-old Sheboygan man has been indicted by a federal grand jury on five counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
The U.S. Attorney's Office Eastern District of Wisconsin said in a news release the indictment alleges that between approximately March 1, 2024, and continuing until at least Sept. 30, 2024, Nolan M. Pitsch "knowingly employed, used, persuaded, induced, enticed and coerced multiple minor children to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction of such conduct, knowing and having reason to know that such visual depiction was and would be produced and transmitted using materials that have been mailed, shipped and transported in, and affecting interstate and foreign commerce by any means, including by computer.'

According to the release, the indictment also alleges that on Sept. 26, 2024, Pitsch knowingly possessed images of child pornography, including images of minors who were younger than 12 years old.
Pitsch could face 15-30 years in prison if convicted of any of the production charges. If convicted of the possession charge, he could face up to 20 years in prison. He also faces up to a $250,000 fine on all the counts, if convicted.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt.
