MADISON - A Darlington man has been indicted in federal court for allegedly using two minors to produce child pornography and receiving and possessing child pornography involving a third minor. He was charged two months ago with similar offenses in Lafayette County Circuit Court.
The five-count federal indictment filed Thursday, Oct. 10 alleged:
Between March 25, 2008 and Dec. 16, 2009, Timmy J. Reichling, 46, used a minor to produce a sexually explicit videotape.
On Feb. 24, 2012 Reichling used another minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct which was recorded and stored on a computer.
Reichling was emailed a sexually explicit image of a minor between Dec. 13, 2010 and Jan. 11, 2011.
Reichling possessed child pornography on a computer hard drive on Aug. 22. On that date, authorities seized a computer, books and magazines while conducting a search of Reichling's residence on County F.
The fifth count seeks forfeiture of the material that contains sexually explicit images of minors and the equipment used to produce them.
Each conviction in federal court for possessing child pornography carries a 15- to 40-year prison sentence.
No dates have been set in federal court for Reichling's case. U.S. attorneys were unavailable for comment Monday, Oct. 14 due to the federal holiday.
Reichling was charged in Lafayette County court in August with 11 sex-related counts, including three counts of child exploitation, five counts of possession of child pornography and three counts of registered sex offender photographing a minor without consent.
Lafayette County Circuit Judge William Johnston set a $1 million cash bond on Aug. 27 for Reichling's release from custody.
Reichling remained in custody Monday in the Lafayette County Jail.
Reichling waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Lafayette County Circuit Court and on Sept. 26, Green County Circuit Judge James Beer was assigned to the case after Reichling requested a substitution for Johnston.
A call to District Attorney Katherine Findley was not returned before deadline.
Reichling's attorney, Frank Medina, didn't return a call regarding whether the state or federal case would proceed against Reichling.
An Oct. 30 scheduling conference has been set in the case.
Reichling's 1993 conviction in Green County for second-degree sexual assault made him a lifetime registrant of the state's sexual offender registry.
A jury found Reichling guilty of three counts of second-degree sexual assault/use of force and one count of false imprisonment. Judge John Callahan sentenced him to eight years in prison in 1996.
