July sentencing set for Grand Island man in child porn case

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (KSNB) - A Grand Island man stands convicted for possession of child pornography.

Court records show, 23-year-old Devin Bragg  was convicted after a no contest plea. Prosecutors dropped nine other child porn charges as part of an agreement.

He will be sentenced July 25. Court records also indicate that prosecutors will recommend Bragg be put on probation. State law provides a max penalty of 20 years in prison for possession of child porn.

Grand Island Police said in the affidavit that Bragg admitted to officers that he had been viewing and previously been in possession of sexually explicit images involving juveniles.

Court documents say following forensic examination of Bragg’s electronics, it was discovered that Bragg was using a search engine to specifically search the internet for prepubescent child pornography. Investigators found ten pictures of prepubescent females on his electronics.

Bragg is in the Hall County jail on $125,000 bond.
