A Shawano man was indicted on a federal charge of using a minor child to produce child pornography.
Here's what to know about the case.
Brandon Boogren, 29, of Shawano.
Boogren is charged in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin with one count of producing child pornography.
According to a criminal complaint:
On June 3, the Milwaukee and Green Bay offices of the FBI received a lead from the FBI in Houston about a WhatsApp conversation involving Boogren. The conversation, which occurred on May 16, 2019, involved discussion about Boogren making pornographic videos of a minor. Later in the day, Boogren sent four videos which depicted sexually explicit conduct between him and a girl who was 1½-years-old at the time.
In an interview with FBI and police, Boogren admitted that one time in 2019 there was sexually explicit contact between him and the girl in the videos.
Boogren is scheduled to appear in court in Green Bay June 24 for a preliminary examination, according to court records. If he is convicted, Boogren faces a mandatory 15 years in prison and up to 30 years in prison, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release.

Popular ex-porn star Austin Wolf to plead guilty to sharing sickening child porn
Former porn star Austin Wolf plans to plead guilty Friday to child porn charges as he appears in court in Manhattan, his lawyers said. The adult star, real name Justin Heath Smith, has been held in custody since he was arrested a year ago for allegedly exchanging hundreds of child porn videos — including one showing a 10-year-old child being bound and raped. The 43-year-old 'intends to plead guilty to a mandatory minimum charge with a significant advisory range' under sentencing guidelines, his attorney, Thomas H. Andrykovitz, wrote in a court filing. 3 Former porn star Austin Wolf plans to plead guilty Friday to child porn charges. Getty Images Smith was initially due to appear in Manhattan Federal Court on Wednesday, but it was extended until Friday to 'fully prepare' for his guilty plea, court filings show. Prosecutor Getzel Berger previously described him as a 'danger to children online, danger to children offline, danger to children everywhere.' The ex-porn star is accused of trading horrific videos — including the one of the raped 10-year-old — with an anonymous target of an FBI probe on the encrypted app Telegram, authorities said at his arraignment in June last year. An undercover FBI agent then used that person's Telegram account to chat with Smith and confirm his identity, court papers said. 3 Austin Wolf and Alec Mapa at the 2023 GayVN Awards.

He is charged with one count each of distribution and receipt of child pornography and possession of child pornography.

Former DEA snitch known as 'Bowling Ball' charged with extorting cocaine kingpins
A Florida-based former snitch for the DEA has been charged with extorting major cocaine traffickers from overseas, according to federal court documents. Jorge Hernandez, a 57-year-old nicknamed "Bowling Ball," spent the past 25 years helping the feds knock down kingpins, according to The Associated Press, which profiled him for his role as a witness in a DEA corruption trial in 2023. Beginning in 2020, he allegedly pretended to be a paralegal and solicited payoff money from drug runners hauling in kilos from Colombia and the Dominican Republic. Hernandez's alleged targets were already awaiting extradition to the United States to face criminal charges when the FBI says he approached them with the scheme, claiming that he would bring them "the best legal team in the United States" and land sentences of just a few years in prison for suspects facing 10 years to life. Part of that time served, he allegedly told them, would be in an apartment. As part of the process, he allegedly obtained a legitimate paralegal certification and used it to meet with jailed suspects in unrecorded attorney visits. Read the criminal complaint: When they did not receive light sentences, he blamed the FBI and the traffickers' own lawyers according to the criminal complaint. He allegedly took bribes in the form of cash, vehicles and real estate and other expensive goods -- threatening the drug runners' family members if they didn't pay up. He raked in between $4 and $6 million, according to prosecutors. One of the traffickers offered his mother's house as collateral, which he told Hernandez was 70% paid off, according to the complaint. In a dispute over $200,000, Hernandez allegedly told another trafficking suspect that "he should pay because freedom does not have a price." Hernandez is currently on federal probation until May 2027 for a money laundering conspiracy, according to court documents.

Cybercriminals breach Aflac as part of hacking spree against US insurance industry
Cybercriminals have breached insurance giant Aflac, potentially stealing Social Security numbers, insurance claims and health information, the company said Friday, the latest in a spree of hacks against the insurance industry. With billions of dollars in annual revenue and tens of millions of customers, Aflac is the biggest victim yet in the ongoing digital assault on US insurance companies that has the industry on edge and the FBI and private cyber experts scrambling to contain the fallout. Erie Insurance and Philadelphia Insurance Companies have also reported hacks this month, which in those cases have caused widespread disruptions to IT systems used to serve customers. All three insurance-company hacks are consistent with the techniques of a young and rampant cybercrime group known as Scattered Spider, people familiar the investigation tell CNN. 'This attack, like many insurance companies are currently experiencing, was caused by a sophisticated cybercrime group,' Aflac said in a statement on Friday, without naming Scattered Spider. Aflac said it 'stopped the intrusion within hours' after discovering it last week, that no ransomware was deployed, and that it continues to serve its customers. It was too early to tell, the company said, how much customer information may have been stolen, but the potential exposure is vast. Aflac is one of the largest providers of supplemental health insurance in the US for medical expenses that aren't covered by a primary provider. The hackers used 'social engineering' to worm their way into its network, according to Aflac. That tactic can involve duping someone into revealing security information to help gain access to a network. It's a hallmark of Scattered Spider attackers, who are known to pose as tech support to infiltrate big corporations. The loose group of cybercriminals is considered dangerous and unpredictable, in part because it is believed to be comprised of youths in the US and the UK known for aggressively extorting their victims. Scattered Spider shot to infamy in September 2023 when they were linked to a pair of multimillion-dollar hacks on famous Las Vegas casinos and hotels MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment. The hackers' tactics, and the way they target big swaths of American industries at a time, has cybersecurity executives pleading with companies to be wary of suspicious phone calls to their employees. Just last month, they were suspects in multiple cyberattacks on American retail companies. 'If Scattered Spider is targeting your industry, get help immediately,' said Cynthia Kaiser, who until last month was deputy assistant director of the FBI's Cyber Division and oversaw FBI teams investigating the hackers. 'They can execute their full attacks in hours. Most other ransomware groups take days.' Scattered Spider often registers web domains that look very much like trusted help desks that companies use for IT support, the cybersecurity firm Halcyon, where Kaiser now works, says in a forthcoming report. While concerns about Iranian cyber capabilities are in the news because of the Israel-Iran war, 'the threat I lose sleep over is Scattered Spider,' said John Hultquist, chief analyst at Google's Threat Intelligence Group. 'They are already taking food off shelves and freezing businesses. The Iranian hackers may not even have Internet access, but these kids are in play right now.'
