A North Liberty man was sentenced to federal prison for production of child pornography and for sending obscene material to minors.

KWWL TV reports authorities identified Jacob Preuschl after a parent called the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s tipline. The parent found sexually explicit content between her daughter and an adult male on the daughter’s phone. Preuschl met the minor victim on Snapchat and was in contact with her for about four months, requesting nude images and videos during that time.

Authorities seized Preuschl’s phone and found that he had communicated with several other underaged children on Snapchat, and acquired child porn from another app.

A federal judge sentenced Prueschl last week to 25 years in prison. He also must pay $13,000 to victims of trafficking and child pornography victims organizations, and serve seven years of supervised release upon completion of his prison term.
