Dog, age 48, of Rosebud, South Dakota, appeared before United States

sexual abuse. The maximum penalty upon conviction is life in custody, a
$250,000 fine, or both.

Albuquerque, NM
This afternoon, a federal judge sentenced Robert W. Schmidt, 56, of
Albuquerque, to a 97-month term of imprisonment for his conviction for
transporting child pornography. Schmidt will be on supervised release
for 10 years after he completes his prison sentence. He also will be
required to register as a sex offender.
U.S. Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales said that Schmidt entered a guilty
plea on November 14, 2011, to count one of a four-count superseding
indictment charging him with two counts of transportation of child
pornography and two counts of possession of child pornography. As
required by his plea agreement, counts two, three, and four of the
superseding indictment were dismissed after Schmidt was sentenced.
Schmidt was arrested on April 5, 2011, as a result of an
investigation by the Albuquerque Police Department, the FBI, and the New
Mexico Regional Forensic Computer Lab, which was initiated after a
maintenance employee at the apartment complex where Schmidt was a tenant
reported seeing child pornography on a computer in Schmidt’s apartment.
The maintenance man observed the child pornography after entering the
apartment to facilitate an emergency repair. Based on the maintenance
man’s report, the Albuquerque Police Department executed a search
warrant at Schmidt’s apartment and seized computers and computer-related
media, which contained thousands of child pornography images and
videos.
