OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – An Omaha man has been sentenced to five years
in prison for receiving and distributing child pornography.
U.S. Attorney Deborah Gilg (GIHLJ) announced in a statement
Thursday that 37-year-old Matthew J. Campbell will also serve five
years of supervised release once his prison term ends.
Gilg’s office says authorities discovered Campbell’s activities
in January 2010, during an investigation into child pornography
distributed over the Internet through file-sharing programs.
Investigators searched Campbell’s home in June 2010 and found 21
videos and 28 images of child pornography. Authorities say the
videos and images showed prepubescent children, including
depictions of bondage.
The case was investigated by the Omaha FBI’s Cyber Crime Task
Force, a team of 11 federal, state and local agencies. Campbell’s
activities were discovered by the Nebraska State Patrol.
