Robert D. Sutton, Jr., Child Pornography, Wisconsin 2023
A Sun Prairie man has been sentenced to 18 years in prison for producing child pornography. Robert D. Sutton, Jr., 52, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge William M. Conley to 18 years in prison for producing child pornography.
The charge against Sutton was the result of an investigation conducted by the Sun Prairie Police Department and the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation, with assistance from the Dane County District Attorney's Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Anita Boor and Elizabeth Altman prosecuted this case.
According to court documents, in May 2021, law enforcement received information that Sutton was sexually assaulting Minor A, then age 13, and Minor B, then age 15. As part of the investigation, law enforcement executed a search warrant on Sutton's phone and found numerous close-up images of him assaulting the minors.
Sutton was convicted of assaulting a different minor in 2007, and as a result, he was required to register as a sex offender. He was in violation of that requirement at the time he assaulted Minors A and B in the federal case.
U.S. Attorney Timothy M. O'Shea announced Sutton's sentence. This investigation was a part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
