Manitowoc, WI Man Gets 15 Years For Producing Child Porn

ST. PAUL, MN — A Manitowoc, Wisconsin man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for producing images depicting his sexual abuse of a minor in Minnesota, U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger announced Tuesday.

Jason Lee, 28, pleaded guilty to one count of attempted production and production of child pornography in July. He was sentenced in St. Paul by Judge Donovan W. Frank in U.S. District Court.

In June 2019, Lee forced a prepubescent minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct to produce a visual depiction of such conduct, authorities said.

The case against him was the result of an investigation conducted by the FBI, St. Paul Police Department, and the Manitowoc Police Department.
