A 52-month prison sentence has been handed down to a Wildwood man for his role in possessing child pornography.
Connor Brueggemann, 26, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Sarah E. Pitlyk on Wednesday for one count of possession of child pornography.
The investigation into Brueggemann’s activities began with a May 4, 2020, tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about the uploading of child pornography. A search of his house on July 14, 2020, revealed over 360 media items containing child sexual abuse material on Brueggemann’s electronic devices.
According to Brueggemann’s plea agreement, he admitted to having ‘done terrible things’ and wanting to get help with his addiction to child pornography. His guilty plea on Wednesday led to the sentencing.
The case was investigated by the FBI and the St. Louis County Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dianna Collins prosecuted the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
