Ord Man Convicted Again for Child Pornography

United States Attorney Joe Kelly announced that Reamonn C. Seaman, 25, of Ord, Nebraska, was sentenced today in Lincoln, Nebraska, by Chief United States District Judge John M. Gerrard for receipt and distribution of child pornography.  Seaman was sentenced to 276 months in prison and will also serve 20 years on supervised release.  There is no parole in the federal system.

Seaman was convicted of Possession of Child Pornography and Enticement by Electronic Device, both felony offenses, in the District Court of Buffalo County, Kearney, Nebraska in January of 2018.   In June of 2018, while on state probation, authorities became aware that he had contacted a minor female via the internet.  Seaman then admitted to his probation officer that he had relapsed.  His electronic devices were seized at that time and found to contain child pornography.

In February of 2019, the probation officer contacted Seaman at his residence and found he had once again obtained computer equipment and wireless adapters in violation of his probation.  Seaman admitted he had relapsed again and had sent nude photographs and videos to additional minor victims. An examination of those devices also revealed child pornography.  Seaman also admitted to making physical contact with minors.

This case 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 United States Attorneys’ Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (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.
