DAVENPORT, Iowa – A Montezuma man was sentenced on July 8, 2026, to 15 years in federal prison for receiving child pornography and 11 counts of cyber stalking.According to public court documents and evidence presented at sentencing, Jack James Erselius, 20, procured and created computer-generated child pornography images of 13 different victims under the age of 18. Law enforcement seized electronic devices during a search of Erselius’ Story County residence. A forensic examination of the seized electronic devices showed that Erselius used the devices to create AI-generated images containing child sexual abuse material of real girls with their clothes removed. Erselius would send screenshots of satellite views of victims’ homes, their family’s contact information, and live updates on victim’s locations to the people online that Erselius solicited to stalk and rape the victims.
