FALLS CITY - A Falls City man, who is awaiting sentencing for contributing to the delinquency of a minor in July, is named in a new felony charge of possession of child pornography.

Matthew J. Timothy, 36, entered pleas in December of 2022 after a mother called police with allegations of child abuse. The mother told police that Timothy was demanding money for alcohol and marijuana he provided to two minors.  An affidavit says the minors told investigators that Timothy had engaged in discussions about sex.

In a separate case, child exploitation investigators allege a digital file sharing in violation of Nebraska law. Investigators searched Timothy’s Chase Street apartment in July and his cell phone in September.

An arrest affidavit says investigators found visual depictions of child pornography on the device.

Timothy is charged with a class 1 felony that carries a maximum penalty of 50 years in prison and a mandatory minimum of three years.
