A former sergeant with the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department will spend decades on the other side of the prison bars.
Philip Wentzel, 41, was given a 40-year prison sentence yesterday for producing child pornography. The former law enforcement officer pleaded guilty in federal court.
Prosecutors say Wentzel took photographs of young girls at a campsite he reserved in Campbellsport. They say the photos were shared on the Internet through a peer-to-peer file sharing network.
There were seven felony counts, each involving a different female victim.
