A 46-year-old Nebraska man has been charged with child pornography and other charges in a federal indictment announced last week.

William H. Rich of Stromsburg, Nebraska was arrested by police in La Vista, Nebraska on December 4 of last year. Officers arrested Mr. Rich based on a tip during a joint operation by the FBI and the Omaha Child Exploitation Task Force.

Officials say detectives received information that the suspect wanted to have sexual contact with a 10-year-old. The suspect allegedly drove from Stromsburg to La Vista to meet with a La Vista detective posing online as a 10-year-old girl.

Rich was taken into custody and booked at the Sarpy County Jail. Detectives searched his home and recovered electronic evidence including child pornography..

He’s charged in the indictment with use of a facility and means of interstate commerce to attempt to persuade, induce, and entice a minor to engage in sexual activity, possession of child pornography and production of child pornography.
