(Sioux City) The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Iowa says 20-year-old Brandon Michael Halsey, of Denison, was sentenced to prison following a guilty plea to possession of child pornography.
In a plea agreement, Halsey admitted that between February 5, 2022, and February 1, 2023, he knowingly received, distributed, and possessed visual depictions of child pornography.
Halsey was sentenced to 72 months’ imprisonment. He was ordered to pay $18,600 in restitution and assessments. He must also serve a five year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
Halsey is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
