Porter Man Sentenced to 40 Years for Producing Child Sexual Abuse Material

A Porter resident has been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison for producing and distributing child sexual abuse material, as announced by U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani. Adam Michael Ohlsen, 44, faced U.S. District Judge Charles R. Eskridge who ordered the consecutive sentences of 280 and 200 months related to Ohlsen’s guilty plea on May 5, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the

Southern District of Texas

.

The court highlighted the severe impact of Ohlsen’s crimes on the minor victim, who endured sexual abuse and whose exploitation was immortalized through the distribution of illicit images. The

press release

stated: “During the hearing, the court learned how deeply and terribly this crime has affected the minor victim who suffered sexual abuse from Ohlsen.” The abuse not only involved physical violation but also digital proliferation, ensuring lasting trauma. Restitution to the victim remains pending. Judge Eskridge mandated lifelong supervised release following Ohlsen’s imprisonment. He is also required to comply with strict conditions that severely limit his access to both children and the internet, and he must register as a sex offender.

The chain of events leading to Ohlsen’s sentencing began with authorities uncovering his distribution of child pornography using a Russian image hosting website in 2022, the investigation brought forth by Homeland Security Investigations with aid given by the Queensland Police Service unearthed evidence of Ohlsen’s direct abuse of a minor and his sharing of the abuse images on an undisclosed platform. Following a search warrant at Ohlsen’s residence, he admitted to both the abuse and the distribution of the material, the search resulted in conclusive evidence corroborating his confession.

Adam Michael Ohlsen is currently held in custody awaiting transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility, details of which are to be finalized soon, the Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Lu’s effort in the prosecution of this case was part of Project Safe Childhood (PSC), a DOJ initiative aimed at combatting child sexual exploitation and abuse through a collaborative effort between federal, state, and local resources, for more details on the initiative and internet safety education, individuals can visit the
