Omaha Man Gets 5 Years for Child Pornography
Zechariah Hazard, a 31-year-old Omaha man, was sentenced to 5 years in prison for receiving child pornography. He will also serve 5 years of supervised release after his release from prison and be required to register as a sex offender.
A search warrant was obtained and served at Hazard’s residence in Omaha, Nebraska, on July 30, 2015, after Homeland Security Investigations received information that an IP address belonging to Hazard uploaded an image of child pornography. A forensic examination of Hazard’s computer found over 9,000 images and video files of child pornography.
The files were received and distributed by Hazard from at least December 14, 2014, through July 30, 2015. The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations and brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
Project Safe Childhood, launched in May 2006, marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

Hazard’s sentence is a result of his crimes, which include the receipt of child pornography. His case serves as a reminder of the severity of these crimes and the consequences that come with them.
The investigation and prosecution of child pornography cases are crucial in preventing the further exploitation of children. It is essential that we continue to work together to combat this growing epidemic and bring perpetrators to justice.
