By River News Staff-
According to a press release issued by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Wisconsin, Matthew Kummer, 49, was sentenced Thursday by U.S. District Judge William M. Conley.
"On October 27, 2019, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Kummer's Minocqua home and seized laptops, hard drives, and miscellaneous storage devices," the U.S. Attorney's Office press release states. "Law enforcement analyzed some of these devices and found more than 17,000 images of child pornography. Additionally, law enforcement found videos Kummer had surreptitiously taken of young children in swimsuits at parks, beaches, and amusement parks."
The 10-year sentence was based on the defendant's prior child pornography conviction, the huge number of images he possessed, and the fact that he was secretly filming young children, the release states.
