A Sheboygan, Wisconsin man serving five years for sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl has been federally indicted for producing child pornography with a young girl in the Philippines.
A federal grand jury indicted 61-year-old Jeffrey H Ernisse on two counts of producing child pornography, two counts of producing child pornography outside of the United States, one count of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with a minor in the Philippines and one count of possessing child pornography.
According to the indictment, on or about March 10, 2015 and then again, on or about April 7, 2015, Ernisse used a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing child pornography. Between approximately June 17, 2014, and approximately April 11, 2015, Ernisse engaged in illicit sexual conduct with a minor in the Republic of the Philippines. And on or about Dec. 18, 2015, Ernisse possessed child pornography.
Ernisse is currently in Red Granite Correctional Institution in Wisconsin after sexually assaulting his neighbor’s 10-year-old daughter. After Ernisse was arrested, during an investigation he admitted to requesting pictures of the girl’s genitalia. Ernisse also admitted to sending the girl sexually explicit images, including images of himself urinating, and showing the girl a pornographic video.
During the investigation, Ernisse admitted to repeated sexual contact with the girl but claimed it was at the request of his victim. The repeated sexual assaults were said to have started in November and ended in mid-December. Ernisse told investigators he had tried to stop but was afraid if it was too abrupt the girl may tell on him.
The Department of Justice stated in a release that Ernisse “is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.” The release from the DOJ can be read in full below.
