(Council Bluffs) The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa says a Council Bluffs man was sentenced on March 16th to 295 months in prison following his plea of guilty to sexual exploitation of a child.
The investigation into 43-year-old Brandon Scott Holmes started in 2021 after law enforcement found evidence that an IP address linked to Holmes was receiving child pornography from a peer-to-peer program. In October 2021, FBI executed a search warrant at Holmes’ residence. Forensic analysis of several seized devices identified thousands of images and videos of child pornography. Holmes also produced images and videos of child pornography. Holmes must serve a 10-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
