According to a press release from the Department of Justice in the Western District of Wisconsin, Madison resident 36 year old Noah Eisele was sentenced on Wednesday to 16 years in federal prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release for using minors to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing images of that conduct. Specifically, he solicited young girls on Facebook for sexually explicit photos and videos. Eisele pleaded guilty to this charge on March 2, 2022.
In February 2021, the Rock County Sheriff’s Office uncovered Eisele’s activity after Facebook flagged an account for sharing child pornography. Law enforcement connected the account to Eisele, who admitted to creating the account in order to pose as a teenage boy. He then used the account to message other users he believed to be minors, and instructed them to send him sexually explicit photos and videos of themselves. Eisele also sent minors sexually explicit pictures and videos of himself.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed the identity of several girls targeted by Eisele. They ranged in age from 11 to 17.
