United States Attorney Matthew D. Krueger of the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on Nov. 19, 2019, Brandon T. Daul (age: 37) of Appleton, Wisconsin, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for possession of child pornography by District Judge William C. Griesbach.
Daul, a registered sexual offender in the State of Wisconsin based on an Outagamie County Circuit Court conviction for possession of child pornography in 2011, possessed numerous digital images and videos of child pornography, many depicting infants and toddlers.
In handing down the sentence, Judge Griesbach noted the defendant’s prior record involving crimes against children and emphasized the serious nature of the charge. He further stated his belief that a 10-year sentence served the interests of justice in this particular case. Following his release from prison, Daul will spend 10 years on supervised release. He will continue to register as a sexual offender.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, and the Appleton Police Department. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel R. Humble.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006, by the U.S. Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
