A Nebraska man was sentenced to six years in prison today
for possessing child pornography in May 2017, announced Acting Assistant
Attorney General John P. Cronan of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division
and U.S. Attorney Joseph P. Kelly for the District of Nebraska.
Douglas Goldsberry, 46, of Elkhorn, Nebraska, pleaded guilty
on March 19 to one count of possessing child pornography. Goldsberry was sentenced by Chief U.S.
District Court Judge Laurie Smith Camp of the District of Nebraska, who ordered
him to serve 10 years of supervised release following his prison sentence and
ordered him to pay $2,500 in restitution. Goldsberry will serve his federal
sentence concurrent with a state prison sentence for pandering for which he is
currently incarcerated.
According to admissions made in connection with his guilty
plea, in May 2017, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office arrested Goldsberry
after he was suspected of ordering escorts to his neighbors’ home without their
knowledge. Law enforcement seized
Goldsberry’s digital devices for evidence of pandering and discovered child
pornography images on two of the seized devices. The material included images and videos from
81 known child pornography series, and also included depictions of infants and
depictions involving bondage of children.
The FBI Cyber Crimes Task Force is investigating this
case. Trial Attorney William M. Grady of
the Criminal Division’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) and
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael P. Norris of the District of Nebraska are
prosecuting the case.
