White Earth man "Ryan" sentenced to 24 years in child pornography case

FREGUS FALLS, Minn. — A 34-year-old White Earth man was sentenced Monday to more than 24 years in prison in a child pornography case.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Ryan Thompson was found guilty in February of two counts of production and attempted production of child pornography. 

Documents say that in December of 2020, a 13-year-old victim used her school-issued laptop to message the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and disclose that Thompson was sexually abusing her. When law enforcement responded, they discovered photographs of a sexual nature taken on the victim's cell phone.

In all, Thompson was sentenced to 24 years and four months in prison, as well as 15 years of supervised release.
