Sex Offender Sentenced for Child Pornography

United States Attorney Steven Russell announced that Adam Frederick Juenemann, 44, of Omaha, Nebraska, was sentenced today to 210 months’ incarceration by United States District Court Judge Brian C. Buescher for transportation of child pornography with a prior conviction. There is no parole in the federal system. After his release, Juenemann will serve a lifetime term of supervised release. Juenemann will continue to have to register as a sex offender.

In October 2020, law enforcement located a sexually explicit video and photograph depicting a known 15-year-old female and a 14-year-old male engaging in sexually explicit conduct on a motherless.com account. The video had been posted by user “sole_t.” The videos of the known 15-year-old and 14-year-old were uploaded to the account on January 7, 2020. The IP address associated with the “sole_t” motherless.com account was a Cox Communications address. The IP address was assigned to Adam Juenemann’s residence and the account was in the name of Juenemann’s ex-wife.

On December 22, 2020, a search warrant was executed at Juenemann’s residence. During the execution of that warrant, officers recovered several electronic devices which were reviewed. During the review of Juenemann’s devices, officers found 62 images containing children being subjected to sexually explicit conduct. On Juenemann’s phone were still images from the video of the 15-year-old female and 14-year-old male that had been posted on motherless.com. Juenemann was interviewed on December 22, 2020, and admitted to using Cox for his internet services and admitted to using the email address associated with the motherless.com account.

Juenemann was previously convicted of three counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Child in violation of K.S.A. 21-5510(a)(2) in the District Court of Ellis County, Kansas, in case number 15CR35.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as part of the FBI’s Child Enticement and Human Trafficking Task Force and was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and CEOS, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
