SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - A Sheboygan man will have to spend three years in state prison for possessing child pornography.
Judge James Bolgert sentenced William Schickowski last week after the 28 year old pleaded no contest to one charge of possessing child pornography. A second charge was dropped as part of a plea deal reached back in July.
Schickowski was charged in May in connection to an investigation that started in February by the state division of Internet Crimes Against Children. A criminal complaint states it wasn’t until May that Sheboygan Police executed a search warrant at Schickowski’s home and found two images of children performing sexual acts. When asked about the images, he reportedly admitted to downloading hundreds of them in the past.
In addition to the jail time, Schickowski will also spent 18 months on extended supervision and spend 25 years on the Wisconsin Sex Offender Registry.
