Dustin Lee Vittitoe, Possession of Child Pornography, Nebraska 2025

Omaha Man Sentenced to 97 Months for Possessing Child Pornography

A local man was recently sentenced to 97 months in federal prison for possessing child pornography, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Dustin Lee Vittitoe, 23, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced on April 10, 2025, in federal court in Omaha for possession of child pornography.

Acting United States Attorney Matthew R. Molsen announced that Vittitoe was sentenced by United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher to 97 months’ imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system.

After Vittitoe’s release from prison, he will begin an eight-year term of supervised release.

The charges against Vittitoe stem from an investigation by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. On January 21, 2023, deputies responded to a report of an individual in possession of child pornography on their cell phone. Deputies learned that Vittitoe had child pornography on his cell phone and within the MEGA application contained on his phone.

Deputies confirmed the subscriber information for Vittitoe’s MEGA account. On February 22, 2023, deputies served a federal search warrant at Vittitoe’s residence and seized his electronic devices for forensic examination. Investigators forensically extracted and analyzed Vittitoe’s electronic devices.

The device extractions showed that Vittitoe solicited and searched for child pornography across several applications. The extractions revealed that Vittitoe possessed at least 411 child pornography image files. The files included pornographic images involving prepubescent children, adults having sex with children, and depictions of sadistic and masochistic conduct involving children.

This case 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 U.S. Attorney’s Offices and the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS).
