A former Sheboygan man with a history of Child Sexual Assault was indicted by a federal grand jury on Tuesday, alleging that 49-year-old Robert D. Nytes, currently of the Town of Kossuth in Manitowoc County, produced child pornography as a registered sex offender.
According to the indictment, Nytes used and employed a minor child “to engage in sexually explicit conduct” in the production of pornography. Nytes now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 35 years’ imprisonment and up to a lifetime term if convicted. He also faces a mandatory consecutive ten year term if he’s convicted of producing the child pornography as a registered sex offender.
Robert Nytes was prosecuted in Sheboygan County in April of 1995 on two counts of 2nd Degree Sexual Assault of a Child that occurred in December, 1994, with one of those counts dismissed by motion of the prosecutor and the other rendering a no-contest plea of guilty. He was sentenced to eight years in prison according to court records. Additionally, those same records show that later that same year, Nytes was convicted of another charge of the 2nd Degree Sexual Assault of a Child that occurred in August of 1995, a Class-C felony to which he pleaded guilty / no contest, and was given a withheld sentence of 10 years probation.
The current case was brought as part of the nationwide “Project Safe Childhood” initiative to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse, and was investigated by the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office. A date in federal court for Nytes was not announced.
