## Resource

Thirty-three-year-old Joshua Powell is set for sentencing this fall after pleading no contest to possessing child sexual abuse material — a Class IIA felony carrying up to 20 years in prison. His case was triggered when Google flagged his account, leading to an investigation by the Nebraska State Patrol. This isn’t his first offense: he was previously convicted and placed on the Nebraska Sex Offender Registry in 2012. Four additional charges were dropped as part of the plea deal, and his sentencing is scheduled for October 26th.
