Acting United States Attorney Steven Russell announced that Paul Piskorski, 53, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on Sept. 12, 2022, in federal court in Omaha for possessing child pornography. Senior United States District Judge Joseph F. Bataillon sentenced Piskorski to five years of imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system. After completing his term of imprisonment, Piskorski will begin a 5-year term of supervised release.
On May 28, 2018, Piskorski uploaded an image of child pornography to Microsoft Bing’s search function. On Sept. 16, 2019, law enforcement agents executed a search warrant at Piskorski’s Omaha residence. Agents located approximately 300 images of child pornography saved on his computer, including the image he uploaded to Microsoft Bing.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and 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 Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and 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.
