Bellevue Man Sentenced for Receiving Child Pornography
A former Bellevue man was sentenced to prison for receiving child pornography.
Kyle Brenner, 56, was sentenced to five years of imprisonment by Chief United States District Court Judge Laurie Smith Camp on June 5, 2017, in federal court in Omaha. There is no parole in the federal system. After his release from prison, Brenner will be required to serve five years of supervised release.
Brenner was identified following a nationwide investigation by U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) into the production and distribution of child pornography.
The investigation revealed that Brenner used his credit card to purchase a subscription for access to a website which provided child pornography. He then accessed the site to download child pornography to his computer in Bellevue, Nebraska. A forensic evaluation of his computer revealed 39 video files and 165 saved image files containing child pornography.
Brenner was extradited back to the United States in 2016 after he left the country in 2009 following the execution of a search warrant at his home. The warrant was executed by federal agents who seized various computers from the residence.
Brenner’s case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006. The initiative marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
HSI special agents in Nebraska are commended for their professionalism and dedication in bringing this case to justice.
