Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Jeff Matheson, 41, Balsam Lake, Wisconsin was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge William Conley to thirteen years in prison followed by supervised release for life for distributing images of child pornography on
the Internet. Matheson pleaded guilty to the charge on February 23, 2012. According to court records, on December 12, 2010, an FBI agent signed on to an undercover computer in Plano, Texas and accessed a peer-to-peer file sharing program.
The agent saw that a user was sharing child pornography files. The agent started downloading these files from that user's account and downloaded 399 files in 20 minutes. The agent captured the IP address for that user with special software.
