An Omaha man has been sentenced to six years in prison for child pornography offenses according to the U-S Attorney's Office.
47 year old Robert Louis Bergstrom pleaded guilty on July 20 to receiving and distributing child pornography. After his release from prison, Bergstrom will have 10 years of supervised release.
In May 2016, law enforcement identified an IP address belonging to Bergstrom’s residence as sharing child pornography images on a peer-to-peer file sharing network. Devices seized from his home during a federal search warrant in August 2016 contained numerous videos and images constituting child pornography.
When interviewed by law enforcement, Bergstrom admitted that he had specifically searched for and downloaded child pornography. 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 by the Department of Justice.
