\"\"A Wisconsin man was sentenced to 10 years in prison last week for sex trafficking multiple minors in the Philippines, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents, Donald A. Stenson, 67, of West Allis, traveled to the Philippines on multiple occasions starting in 2007 and repeatedly engaged in sexual activity with minors there. <\/span><\/p>\n

Between 2016 and 2019, Stenson lured five minor victims between the ages of approximately 11 and 17 into commercial sex arrangements, engaging in sexual activity with the victims and then providing them with money and gifts, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

A search of Stenson\u2019s electronic devices uncovered multiple images and videos of the minor victims, including a video depicting Stenson engaging in sex acts with a minor. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The search also uncovered sexually explicit messages with minors and messages in which Stenson discussed engaging in sex acts with the minor victims with John Burgdorff, 66, of West Allis. <\/span><\/p>\n

Burgdorff traveled with Stenson to the Philippines, and Stenson encouraged the victims to meet with Burgdorff, who then also engaged them in commercial sexual activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stenson was identified based on a CyberTipline Report from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). Stenson and Burgdorff were both arrested at Burgdorff\u2019s residence in West Allis and charged as co-defendants in connection with their sex trafficking of these minor victims. <\/span><\/p>\n

Burgdorff was sentenced in November 2022 to two and a half years in prison for engaging in illicit sexual conduct with a minor in a foreign place.<\/span><\/p>\n

HSI Milwaukee, HSI\u2019s Manila Transnational Criminal Investigation Unit, HSI Bangkok, and Philippine authorities investigated the case.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trial Attorney William G. Clayman of the Criminal Division\u2019s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Megan J. Paulson and Abbey M. Marzick for the Eastern District of Wisconsin prosecuted the case, with assistance from CEOS Trial Attorney Kaylynn Foulon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. <\/span><\/p>\n

Led by U.S. Attorney\u2019s Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate better, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
