(WTAQ-WLUK) — Robert Nytes, a registered sex offender, was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for receipt of child pornography.
The ruling was announced by Senior United States District Judge William C. Griesbach Friday evening.
According to court records, Nytes is a lifetime registrant on the Wisconsin Sexual Offender Registry from a 1995 second degree sexual assault of a child conviction in Sheboygan County.
In August of 2023, law enforcement was notified that Nytes repeatedly sexually assaulted a minor, using the child to create pornography. He would later upload it to the cloud for receipt on his various electronics.
Nytes pled guilty to the federal charge.
Judge Griesbach said Nytes’ crime was horrendous, noting the profound effects on the child involved and his history of abusing children. Griesbach felt that the 300 month sentence in federal prison was fair considering the severity of the crime.
Upon completion of his federal prison sentence, Nytes will spend the rest of his life on supervised release.
The case was investigated by the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office, and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel R. Humble.
