A Tomah man was sentenced for possession of child pornography.

According to the Tomah Police Department, on Wednesday, March 1st of 2023, a joint law enforcement operation involving the Tomah Police Department and the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation ended with the arrest of John Dockerty on the suspicion of possession of child pornography.

The investigation began with cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Dockerty was already on parole for a 2017 conviction in Monroe County for possession of child pornography and is a lifetime sex offender registrant.

The Department received assistance from the Tomah Area Ambulance Service and the Monroe County 911 Communications Center. Dockerty was booked in the Monroe County Jail.

Back in December, he was found guilty of, due to a no contest plea, four counts of possession of child pornography. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 15 years of extended supervision.
