Brad D. Schimel, First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced that on June 2, 2026, Christopher L. Rentmeester (age 45, of Plymouth) was federally indicted for the production of child pornography. The indictment charges Rentmeester with two counts of production of child pornography (also known as child sexual abuse material, or CSAM), in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2251(a) and 2251(e). The criminal conduct is alleged to have occurred between 2022 and 2024.
Rentmeester faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years' imprisonment and up to 30 years' imprisonment, on each count if convicted.
The Plymouth Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated this case. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Abbey M. Marzick.
An indictment contains allegations only and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
