Nicholas Andrew Travis, Child Pornography, Nebraska 2020

An Omaha man has been sentenced to 151 months in prison for his role in a child pornography case.

Nicholas Andrew Travis, 33, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Omaha for Receipt of Child Pornography.

According to court documents, on January 24, 2020, special agents and task force officers with Homeland Security executed a search warrant at Travis’s apartment at the Open Door Mission in Omaha. They seized Travis’s cell phone.

Travis admitted to the investigators that he had used his cell phone to download child pornography from the Internet while at his apartment in Omaha. As one method to receive child pornography, Travis admitted that he had paid for access to a foreign provider to download child pornography.

A forensic examination of Travis’s cell phone revealed 3,127 images and videos depicting children, specifically girls between the ages of 3 to 10, engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

Travis will be required to register as a sex offender and pay $33,000 in restitution and a $100 special assessment after his release.

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.

The case was investigated by the Council Bluffs Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations.

There is no parole in the federal system.
