Beaver Dam Man Convicted On Child Porn Charges

(Beaver Dam) A Beaver Dam man was found guilty Tuesday with possessing illicit content of children. Matthew Haase entered a no contest plea to three felony counts of Child Pornography. Seven additional felony charges were dismissed but read into the record.

The social media platform Snapchat filed a CyberTip report in October of 2020 that a user uploaded two files suspected to be child porn. The account was tied back to Haase. When questioned by authorities, Haase admitted to possessing images of child porn. The 41-year-old also told investigators that he would send these images to friends.

Haase faces 75-years in prison. A pre-sentencing investigation was ordered and Haase is due back in court on August 16th.
