Texas Man Indicted for Production of Child Pornography Involving Three Children in the Eastern District of Wisconsin

Brad D. Schimel, First Assistant United States Attorney of the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on April 7, 2026, a federal grand jury returned a two-count indictment charging Axis C. Williams. (age: 21) of Aransas Pass, Texas, with production of child pornography, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2251(a).

According to court records, Williams is charged with meeting a juvenile online and causing her and two other juveniles to engage in sexually explicit conduct, record it, and send him the recordings.

If convicted of either count in the indictment, Williams faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years' imprisonment and up to a maximum of 30 years' imprisonment. He also faces a $250,000 fine and five years to life terms of supervised release on each count.

This case was investigated by the St. Francis Police Department, Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation, and Homeland Security Investigations - Corpus Christi. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Abbey M. Marzick.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
