MADISON, WIS. -- Jeffrey M. Anderson, Acting United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Charles Raimondi, Sr., 74, Park Falls, Wis., was sentenced on May 24 by U.S. District Judge James Peterson to 10 years in federal prison for possessing child pornography. This prison term is to be followed by a lifetime period of supervised release. Raimondi pleaded guilty to this charge on March 16, 2017.
On October 5, 2016, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Raimondi’s home in Park Falls and seized numerous electronic items. Analysts found numerous sexually explicit images of KV #1, a juvenile identified during the investigation, and other children on these devices.
In sentencing the defendant, Judge Peterson noted that Raimondi turned KV #1 into a sex object and further victimized her by sending pictures of her to other people.
The charge against Raimondi was the result of an investigation conducted by the Department of Homeland Security, Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation, Superior Police Department, Iron County Sheriff’s Office and the Queensland Australia Police Service. The prosecution of the case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Altman.
