United States Attorney Matthew D. Krueger of the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on Oct. 10, 2018, a federal grand jury returned an indictment against Sean R. Evansen (age: 35) of Algoma, Wisconsin.
According to the indictment, between June 6, 2018, and Sept. 13, 2018, Evansen received and possessed images of child pornography including images of children under 12 years of age. The indictment further reflects that Evansen was convicted on June 19, 2000, in Calumet County Circuit Court, for the crime of First Degree Sexual Assault of a Child.
Evansen faces one charge of receipt of child pornography, contrary to Title 18, United States Code, Section 2252A(a)(2), and possession of child pornography, contrary to Title 18, United States Code, Section 2252A(5)(b). He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and up to 40 years of incarceration in federal prison. He is scheduled for arraignment in Green Bay federal court on Oct. 17, 2018.
This case was investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s ICAC Task Force. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel R. Humble.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
