Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Brett Blomme, 38, was charged with seven counts of possession of child pornography on Wednesday, a day after his arrest. Each count carries a maximum fine of $100,000 and 25 years in prison, or both, and each has a mandatory minimum sentence of three years of initial confinement. Blomme is the former president of the Cream City Foundation, which hosts “Drag Queen Story Hour,” a children's event in which drag queens read to children.
"The allegations are alarming," Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said in a statement. "The reports of the arrest came as a complete surprise."
Blomme allegedly uploaded several images of child pornography through a messaging app in October and November 2020, including videos of male children being raped.
Authorities, according to the charging documents, began the investigation in February after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Kik messaging app user “dommasterbb” uploaded videos consistent with child pornography through the app 27 times.
