MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A Fox Valley man is facing charges for allegedly producing and distributing child pornography.
A federal grand jury indicted John Schaefer, 34, on Tuesday.
The indictment says that Schaefer “employed and used a minor” in August of 2020 to create a “visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.”
The indictment also says that Schaefer distributed a video of the sexual assault of a young child in September of 2021.
If convicted of both charges, Schaefer faces up to 70 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for each of the two counts.
The case was investigated by police from Menasha and Oshkosh.
