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.

Green Bay airport, campgrounds get boost in bookings for NFL draft
GREEN BAY - The three campgrounds in Brown County were almost booked to full capacity. Out of the 245 campsites available during the draft, 93% were booked over the three days, said Matt Kriese, the county parks director. About 30 to 40 people didn't show up who had booked a site, he said, which wasn't that many more cancellations than a weekend in a typical camping season. Advertisement Brown County opened up its three campgrounds — Reforestation Camp, Brown County Fairgrounds and Bay Shore Park — for the draft ahead of the typical season and raised prices to $100 a night during the draft, up $48 to $76 than its typical rates. Most of the sites were filled up by February. The Fairgrounds wasn't much busier, Kriese said, but the other two campgrounds had more visits than a typical weekend. Things ran smoothly, with people being more welcoming to each other and open to neighbors than usual during camping season. "It was a really (welcoming) event. People started showing up on that Wednesday," Kriese said. "They were outside tailgating and a camping atmosphere with their neighbors." Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport also saw the impacts of the draft, creating a new record for air traffic. Advertisement The airport extended air traffic control hours and added at least seven nonstop flights in anticipation of the draft. It paid off — the airport had one of its busiest weeks in its history and over 150 volunteers signed up to help and greet travelers, airport director Marty Piette said in a Facebook post April 28.

NFL says 600,000 fans attended the draft in Green Bay
The NFL draft might not draw a Super Bowl-level TV audience. It definitely generates a Super Bowl-level crowd. The league announced that 600,000 attended the draft in Green Bay. While that's down from last year's all-time record of 775,000 in Detroit, Detroit is a much larger city and metropolitan area. It's impressive. It merits praise. Green Bay hit a home run. That said, it's high time that we come to terms with the fact that the crowd-size numbers trumpeted by the league carry a not-so-subtle alternative-facts vibe. The first point should be obvious. There wasn't a crowd of 600,000 at one specific time. That was the total attendance for the three days, lumped together. Second, it wasn't 600,000 different people over three days. Surely, there was significant overlap. The third point is more subtle. Because draft attendance is free, fans can come and go at will. And every time they enter the draft area, it counts as another fan. So if, for example, someone goes back to their car and returns to the draft, that's two not one. Consider this. Via Richard Ryman of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Thursday night's attendance was 205,000. Saturday's was 220,000. Anyone who watched the draft on Saturday knows it was never as crowded as it was on Thursday night. Not even close. But with people wandering in and out over the six-hour Saturday marathon, there would have been plenty of duplication. It's all still very impressive. But it's not a real number. In Green Bay or in Detroit or in any location where people can come and go through the perimeter — and who will then count as two or three or four or five fans. And, yes, there are ways to accurately estimate the true, unduplicated number of attendees for each day. There's no reason to do it, however, if the end result will be a much less resounding victory lap.
