Wichita Man Sentenced to 16+ Years for Distributing Child Porn
A registered sex offender from Wichita was sentenced to 195 months in federal prison for distributing child pornography, U.S. Attorney Tom Beall said.
Judge, not mentioned, handed down the sentence on Thursday in Wichita, Kan., against Jeremy Michael Schmidt, formerly known as Jeremy Michael Davis, 41, of Wichita, Kan.
Schmidt pleaded guilty to one count of distributing child pornography. In 2013, Schmidt was convicted in Florida on a possession of child pornography charge and registered as a sex offender under the name Jeremy Michael Davis. He later changed his name to Jeremy Michael Schmidt.
Schmidt came to the attention of investigators in Wichita when they received four separate Cyber Tipline Reports from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Investigators identified emails in which Schmidt provided links to child pornography.
U.S. Attorney Tom Beall commended the Wichita Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and Assistant U.S. attorney Jason Hart for their work on the case.
Schmidt’s sentence of 195 months in federal prison marks the latest development in the ongoing effort to combat child pornography in Kansas. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of community reporting and the dedication of law enforcement agencies in protecting vulnerable populations.
The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the (District of Kansas) and investigated by the Wichita Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations, the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, and other agencies.
