A Rosebud man has been sentenced for his role in a disturbing child pornography case.
A 20-year-old Jeremy Gunhammer was handed a 36-month sentence in custody, five years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender.
The conviction stems from Gunhammer’s use of the Internet to receive and possess numerous images of child pornography between January 1, 2013, and May 31, 2013.
The investigation was a collaborative effort involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation, South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, South Dakota Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Pennington County Sheriff’s Office, Rapid City Police Department, Sioux Falls Police Department, and the U.S. Marshals Service.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tim Maher and Sarah Collins prosecuted the case, which saw Gunhammer plead guilty on November 19, 2013. He was indicted on June 12, 2013, by a federal grand jury for Possession of Child Pornography.
Gunhammer was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service after his sentencing on February 3, 2014, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.
The disturbing case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in protecting our children from those who would seek to harm them.
