26-year-old Keenan Chidaushe of Brookings, SD, was sentenced this week to 17.5 years in federal prison with five years of supervised release for conviction of Production of Child Pornography.
A federal grand jury indicted Chidaushe in March of 2022. He pleaded guilty on May 5, 2023.
The conviction stemmed from incidents between November 8, 2021, and November 19, 2021, when Chidaushe used his cell phone to record sexual activity with a minor female.
Chidaushe knew the victim was under the age of 18.
As a result of this conviction, Chidaushe will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from custody.
