Joyce M. Beauchamp, Child Pornography, Nebraska 2026

An Omaha woman has been sentenced to 292 months in prison for producing and distributing child pornography.

Joyce M. Beauchamp, 40, was sentenced on May 13, 2026, in federal court in Omaha for Production of Child Pornography and Distribution of Child Pornography.

United States District Judge Brian C. Buescher sentenced Beauchamp to 292 months’ imprisonment on the production count and 240 months’ imprisonment on the distribution count. The sentences will be served concurrently, meaning she will serve a total of 292 months in prison.

Beauchamp will not be eligible for parole, as there is no parole in the federal system. After her release from prison, she will begin a five-year supervised release term.

The investigation into Beauchamp’s crimes began on October 31, 2024, when the FBI executed a search warrant at an Omaha residence and seized electronic devices for forensic examination.

Investigators located numerous images and/or videos depicting child pornography and identified several individuals in the Omaha area who discussed and exchanged child pornography. Beauchamp was identified as one of these individuals.

In December 2022, Beauchamp took multiple nude photographs of two minor victims and sent them to another individual. The photos were sent in a text message string discussing the sexual abuse of children.

United States Attorney Lesley Woods said, ‘The children of Nebraska deserve protection from sexual predators like Beauchamp, and this office will spare no effort or resources in pursuing every threat to the children in our communities. There is no greater evil than the evil found in those who harm children in this unspeakable way.’

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.
