Bradley D. Hounsell (Winnebago Co. Jail)
OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A former correctional officer from Oshkosh was sentenced to 13 years in prison for paying an adult in the Philippines to produce and send him child pornography.
Bradley D. Hounsell, 44, was indicted on federal charges in April of 2025.
According to court documents, Hounsell used an online social media platform to pay an adult in the Philippines to send him sexually explicit images and videos of children.
In November 2023, this individual informed Hounsell that she had access to an approximately 13-year-old girl, and Hounsell asked to have the minor pose in sexually suggestive positions. Hounsell then offered to pay for a video of the adult sexually assaulting the child. When the individual sent Hounsell the video, Hounsell sent the adult money. At various points in their conversations, Hounsell offered to pay this individual money for additional images and videos depicting the sexual exploitation of children.
Law enforcement recovered the video and other evidence of Hounsell’s criminal conduct from his phone during a warrant-authorized search of his home in Oshkosh.
Hounsell was employed as a correctional officer with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections prior to his arrest.
