"Law enforcement has no higher priority than protecting our children. This predator has been committing crimes against children for nearly 25 years," interm U.S. Attorney Brad Schimel said in a statement. "The only way to stop him is to lock him up so he has no opportunity to have any contact in any way with any child. This conviction and sentence will finally end his predatory behavior."
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, Anderson paid a co-defendant to produce and send him child sexual abuse material of an 11-year-old child in both the Milwaukee and Memphis areas.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Memphis Police Department investigated the case, which was brought as part of the nationwide initiative Project Safe Childhood.
