RACINE — A 30-year-old Racine man was arrested after Homeland Security Investigations Milwaukee received a tip from Dutch authorities regarding the production and distribution of child pornography through Teleguard, a messaging app.
Nelson Roberts-Smith is facing one count of repeated sexual assault of a child and one count of incest.
The criminal complaint from the Racine County Sheriff’s Office said Roberts-Smith is also under federal investigation because of “the international dissemination of child pornography and the production of child pornography.”
Online court records reflect Racine County Court Commissioner Alice Rudebusch set a $250,000 cash bond during a hearing Friday.
Roberts-Smith is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing June 11.
According to the criminal complaint, RCSO began working with the Department of Homeland Security on June 4.
A Dutch investigator acting as a confidential informant communicated with a user “Fantastic,” later identified as Roberts-Smith.
In the chat, Roberts-Smith reportedly sent the confidential informant a video of Roberts-Smith sexually assaulting a young child.
On June 4 at around 6:56 p.m., officers conducted a traffic stop during which Roberts-Smith was arrested and his phone was seized. He allegedly told officers he knew of Teleguard but declined to provide more information.
When searching Roberts-Smith’s phone, investigators reportedly found the same video exchanged with the confidential informant through the messaging app.
Investigators also found multiple chats — one with more than 600 members — in which Roberts-Smith discussed the abuse and sent child pornography to other users.

CALEDONIA — A 23-year-old Caledonia man was charged with seven counts of possessing child pornography after Caledonia Police received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
The maximum sentence if convicted is a fine of up to $100,000, imprisonment of up to 25 years or both. Further, the court can impose a surcharge of $500 for each image or copy of an image associated with the crime.
Online records reflect that Marcos Donoso’s cash bond was set at $25,000 during a court hearing Thursday. He is scheduled to appear in court June 26.
According to a criminal complaint, CPD began investigating May 5 and identified Donoso as a suspect.
CPD investigators obtained a warrant for Donoso’s Dropbox account and reportedly found images and videos, including those detailed in the cyber tip.
The complaint alleges that Donoso told CPD he owned the account and possessed and viewed child pornography.

RACINE — Jamill Sanders, a former teacher at 21st Century Preparatory School in Racine, was sentenced during a hearing Monday after pleading no contest to two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault, a misdemeanor, and one count of felony child abuse meant to intentionally cause harm.
For each misdemeanor charge, Sanders, 37, will serve nine months in the Racine County Jail.
He also will spend three years on probation for the felony charge.
The sentence was imposed and stayed, meaning that if the conditions of probation are violated and Sanders' probation is revoked, he will be required to serve two years in Wisconsin State Prison and two years of extended supervision.
The remaining charges — including second-degree sexual assault of a child and repeated sexual assault of the same child — were dismissed but read into the court’s record.
According to previous Journal Times reporting, Racine Police Department officers were sent to the K4-8 school on March 27, 2024, after a report of a sexual assault.
Sanders had been working at the school as a behavioral interventionist.
Five students, including two 12-year-olds and three 14-year-olds, reportedly made allegations against him.

Vos: Republicans weighing $87M cut to UW system over lack of 'political diversity'
From The Journal Times.com:

KIMBERLY WETHAL
The Assembly Committee on Colleges and Universities held an informational hearing on the Higher Education portion of the proposed state budget. This segment features Committee Vice Chair Rep. Amanda Nedweski (R-Pleasant Prairie) questioning Universities of Wisconsin President Jay Rothman on …
Republicans on the Legislature’s budget committee may deal the Universities of Wisconsin the system’s biggest cut in nearly a decade, to the tune of $87 million.
The cut was first reported by Civic Media on Monday night. By contrast, the UW system had requested an increase in state aid of $856 million. The committee had been slated to take up the UW system’s budget on Tuesday but punted it for unspecified reasons.
Budget committee co-chairs Rep. Mark Born, R-Beaver Dam, and Sen. Howard Marklein, R-Spring Green, did not confirm the proposed cut to the UW system to reporters ahead of the budget committee’s meeting Tuesday, saying only that they had decided not to take up the universities’ budget.
Assembly Speaker Rep. Robin Vos, R-Rochester, confirmed Wednesday that Republicans were looking at a cut of that size because, he said, the UW system had not done enough to ensure conservative students feel like they belong on campus.
Vos also said he believed too much "political correctness" remained on campuses and alluded to the pro-Palestinian protests that have taken place in the last two years.
"It's not about cutting money. What it is is about getting some kind of reforms to the broken process that we currently have," Vos said. "We don't have enough respect for political diversity. Heaven forbid if you're a student who's Jewish or has a different viewpoint on campus where you feel like you're either targeted or the victim of potential hate. So we want to ensure that whatever happens on campus, it is a free exchange of ideas and that people understand that's the basis for what the university should be."
Sen. Kelda Roys, D-Madison, told reporters following the committee meeting Tuesday that a $87 million cut to the UW system is a “non-starter.”
“The university, over the last generation, has seen their budget shrink and shrink. They have not gotten inflationary increases, and they’ve had cuts,” Roys said.
“What they had asked for in this budget session would help make them whole from the cuts that they have endured over the last 15 years. And it’s even more important at a time when we’re looking at potentially very significant cuts in federal dollars going to education.”
Further cuts to the UW system would be “devastating” after years of neglect, UW system spokesperson Mark Pitsch said.
“It’s astounding that reductions would be a consideration, when the Legislature knows what is at stake for our communities, our workforce, and our ability to develop the talent that Wisconsin counts on for its economic vibrancy,” Pitsch said. “We should be investing in education and developing talent, not cutting it.”
It’s unknown when the budget committee will take up the UW system’s budget, but it would need to happen next week for any budget to reach Gov. Tony Evers’ desk by the end of the fiscal year on June 30. Discussions on spending levels for multiple other agencies, including the Wisconsin Elections Commission and the Higher Education Aids Board, also have been pushed back.
The UW system has either seen slight or no increases in state aid, outside of pay plan increases for staff that apply to all state employees, for more than a decade. In 2009 and 2015, the UW system took $250 million in cuts under governors from both parties. The largest increase the UW system has received in the last decade was in 2021, when Republicans added $49 million to its operating budget.
In the last budget, state aid for the UW system remained flat, but system administrators were required to come up with a workforce development plan in order to tap $32 million that was held back. The amount represented what top Republicans estimated the UW system spent on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.
The UW system has made free speech a heavy emphasis since President Jay Rothman arrived in 2022. Under his leadership, the UW system moved forward with a controversial free speech survey that led to the resignation of an interim chancellor; UW system leaders regularly tout their civil dialogue programming at UW Board of Regents meetings.
Focus on DEI
Earlier this year, a Legislative Audit Bureau report showed the UW system spent $40 million on diversity, equity and inclusion over the 2023-24 school year.
UW system leaders decried those numbers as “old and cold.” Leaders added the report wasn’t reflective of the work they’d done to reassign diversity staff elsewhere and included spending that had nothing to do with diversity efforts, such as paying health insurance premiums for international students and mental health counseling.
For years, Wisconsin has ranked in the bottom 20% for state investment per full-time student in its public four-year universities, while the state’s two-year public technical colleges rank in the top 20%, thanks to tech colleges’ ability to levy property taxes in their districts. The ongoing gap is a talking point the UW system leaders have used for years to lobby for more state funding.
The UW system also faces financial pressures from the federal government, as multiple agencies have proposed reductions in what they will reimburse for so-called indirect costs of research and canceled contracts and grants deemed to be out of line with President Donald Trump’s priorities.
Other voices
Business leaders and employers across the state increasingly have come out in support of providing the UW system more funding.
Last month, hundreds of businesses and chambers around the state, including Epic Systems and Exact Sciences, signed a letter urging lawmakers to boost state aid; during the last budget cycle, businesses put pressure on legislators as UW-Madison’s engineering building wasn’t initially given funding.
The UW system had a bit of a warning it wasn’t going to get anywhere close to the amount of funding administrators requested.
Last week, Born and Marklein hinted that the $229 million increase they were proposing to bolster special education funding would be the largest increase of any state agency in this budget.
