MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Former Outagamie County Human Resources Director Adam Westbrook was convicted in federal court of producing child pornography. Sentencing is Dec. 5, court records show.
Westbrook had been scheduled to stand trial next week, but entered the plea Monday, according to court records.
The conviction carries a prison term of 5-to-20 years.
Westbrook was arrested after investigators discovered evidence he took and shared videos of a pre-pubescent boy while at a Sauk County hotel in January.
The investigation into Westbrook began in March, following the arrest of Preston Kite. Kite, a Racine County sheriff’s deputy, was taken into custody in early February for indecent exposure after exposing himself to someone in a public restroom.
Kite is facing possession of child pornography, five counts of child sexual exploitation, lewd and lascivious behavior, disorderly conduct and bestiality. A Jan. 14 trial is scheduled in that matter.
As for Westbrook, he resigned from his job with Outagamie County following his arrest.
