RACINE — A Caledonia man pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography Tuesday.
Christopher Dufay, 24, was facing 20 counts of possession of child pornography.
Each count is a class D felony which, upon conviction, can result in up to 25 years in prison, a maximum fine of $100,000 or both.
On Tuesday, Dufay pleaded guilty to five counts. The remaining counts were dismissed but read in to the court record.
Allegations
According to previous Journal Times reporting, Dufay was arrested after the Caledonia Police Department received a cyber tip from Internet Crimes Against Children.
The tip included eight videos and a Kik account with an IP address associated with a residence in the 2700 block of Holly Grove Court and an account name of Christopher Dufay.
CPD served a search warrant for the account, which showed 209 images/videos had been downloaded or shared by the account owner. CPD reportedly found 20 distinct videos containing child pornography.
Investigators also searched Dufay’s residence and seized several items as evidence, according to previous reporting.
Dufay originally pleaded not guilty to all charges at an arraignment in April.
He is scheduled for a sentencing hearing Feb. 17, 2026.
