RACINE — A 24-year-old Racine man was arrested after the Racine County Sheriff’s Office searched his residence and cell phone and reportedly found child pornography.
Dakota Newburg was charged with 12 counts of possession of child pornography.
If convicted, the maximum sentence is a fine of up to $100,000, imprisonment for up to 25 years, or both.
Further, the court can impose a $500 surcharge for each image or each copy of an image associated with the crime.
According to online court records, Racine County Court Commissioner Alice Rudebusch set a $75,000 cash bond during a hearing Friday.
Newburg is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing June 11.
According to a criminal complaint, RCSO executed a search warrant at a residence in the 700 block of Willmor Street on June 3 after receiving a cyber tip.
During the search, Newburg allegedly told RCSO that the email address associated with the tips belonged to him and that he had at least one video on his cell phone that would be considered child pornography.
A forensic examination of Newburg’s phone reportedly showed “cartoonish” AI-generated pornography depicting children being sexually assaulted by adults.
