ABERDEEN, S.D. (KFGO) – South Dakota U.S. Attorney Alison Ramsdell says a federal judge has sentenced a Milbank man for production of child pornography.
Jason Honetschlager, 45, was indicted by a federal grand jury in November 2023.
Honetschlager was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison.
The investigation discovered that throughout 2023, Honetschlager targeted teenagers in the Milbank area.
He enticed minor children via Snapchat and bought them tobacco and marijuana products in exchange for the images and acts. His behavior came to law enforcement’s attention when a video surfaced of him forcing a young teenage girl to perform oral sex on him. The investigation discovered 8 minor victims.
The case was investigated by the Milbank Police Department, the Division of Criminal Investigation, and Homeland Security Investigations.
