MENASHA, Wis. (TCN) -- A 57-year-old man has been sentenced to 7.5 years in federal prison for a child pornography conviction.
In April 2025, law enforcement received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and executed search warrants for Todd E. Grimm’s home and electronic devices, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin announced.
Authorities found a flash drive in an envelope in one of Grimm’s desk drawers that reportedly contained 12,500 images and videos of child sexual abuse material.
In addition to the videos and images, the flash drive contained stories Grimm had written about drugging and abusing children, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Grimm was indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly receiving child pornography in 2023, WLUK reported. He was sentenced Jan. 29 to 90 months in federal prison.
U.S. Attorney Brad Schimel said, “The worldwide multibillion-dollar child pornography industry is directly supported by people like this defendant who perpetuate sexual violence against children every time they seek out, view, or share these materials. Justice for those children demands that we lock up these predators.”
After he is released from prison, Grimm will spend 15 years on supervised release and will be required to register as a sex offender under state and federal law, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
