RACINE — A 24-year-old Racine man was sentenced to six years in prison Tuesday in connection to 20 counts of possession of child pornography.

Christopher Dufay pleaded guilty in December 2025 to five of the counts. The remaining 15 were dismissed but read in to the court record.

Dufay also was ordered to serve five years of extended supervision.

Allegations

According to previous Journal Times reporting, Dufay was arrested in April 2025 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 during an arraignment in April 2025.
