Case in Review: Greendale Man Arrested for Child Pornography

What: Greendale Police reported they found what appeared to be video evidence depicting images of child pornography.
The criminal complaint filed in United States District Court states the investigation began after one of the two girls Winkie allegedly photographed disclosed the indicents to an adult. The girls were born in 1998 and 2000. The girls told police Winkie had taken inappropriate photographs of them and also that he asked them to take pictures of themselves. Winkie remains in custody.

Charges: Winkie faces two federal criminal charges: knowingly possessing child pornography and knowingly producing child pornography. If convicted of the production charge, he faces between 15 and 30 years in prison, between 5 years and life on supervision and up to $250,000 in fines. If convicted of the possession charge, he faces up to 10 years in prison, between 5 years and life on supervision and up to $250,000 in fines. 

Recent activity: Winkie waived his preliminary hearing on Aug. 2. If that hearing had gone forward, prosecutors would have had to call witnesses to testify about the basics of the case. 

What's next: No information is yet available about Winkie's next court appearance.
