Ellsworth Man Indicted On Child Pornography Charges
An Ellsworth Air Force Base man has been accused of receiving and possessing child pornography, according to a federal indictment.
Colby Haggerty, 22, was indicted on May 20, 2014 for Receipt of Child Pornography and Possession of Child Pornography.
Haggerty appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Veronica L. Duffy on May 21, 2014 and pled not guilty to the indictment.
The indictment alleges that between August 2009 and April 2014, Haggerty knowingly received and possessed computer files containing images of child pornography at Ellsworth Air Force Base.
Haggerty faces a mandatory minimum of 5 years’ imprisonment up to 20 years’ imprisonment, along with a $250,000 fine, lifetime supervised release, and a $100 assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. Restitution may also be ordered.
The investigation was conducted by the South Dakota Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah B. Collins is prosecuting the case.
Haggerty was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. A trial date has not been set.
The charges are merely accusations, and Haggerty is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
