A Stanberry man will spend at least 15 years in prison for producing and possessing child pornography.

U.S. Attorney David Ketchmark announced Tuesday 34-year-old Jeffrey Dale Wiederholt of Stanberry pleaded guilty to the charges and will face at least 15 years in federal prison.

Wiederholt pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to produce child pornography, one count of transporting child pornography and one court of receiving child pornography.

Federal agents learned he was actively trading the child porn in August of 2010 when he was caught trading the pornography with another person targeted by the Air Force office of Special Investigations.

Upon an investigation including email and web records, federal agents believed he produced the material.

He pleaded guilty to producing child pornography with a child less than 12 years old. Investigators also found a photo on his cell-phone he confessed to producing the material on December 29 of 2010.

The investigation found more than 1,000 images and 33 video files of child pornography on his computer. He had sent much of the material to others via email.
