OMAHA, Neb. -- A 24-year-old Omaha man and 32-year-old Elkhorn man were sentenced to about 8 years in prison on Thursday for distribution of child pornography near Omaha. 

The U.S. Attorney announced that 24-year-old Michael Dickmeyer was sentenced in federal court in Omaha for distribution and receipt of child porn. 

The Honorable sentenced Dickmeyer to 8 years in prison. 

After his prison sentence he will serve 5-years of supervised release. Dickmeyer was also ordered to pay $21,000 in restitution. There is no parole in the federal prison system. 

Court documents said that in October 2021, investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol got a Cybertip from Twitter saying a user had uploaded child porn. 

It was reported that investigators then contacted Dickmeyer, who admitted to accessing, viewing, and trading images and videos of child porn online. 

Investigators said they searched Dickmeyer's cell phone and saw more than 700 images and videos of child porn on the phone. 

The U.S. Attorney also sentenced 32-year-old John R. Steier in federal court in Omaha for distributing child porn. 

The Chief U.S. District Judge sentenced Steier to 8.5 years in prison. 

After completing his prison term, Steier will begin a 10-year term of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $6,000 in restitution and a $4,000 assessment. There is no parole in the federal prison system. 

Court documents said that between Oct. 28, 2019 and Apr. 29, 2021, in his home, Steier made child porn available for download on an internet program. 

On July 19, 2021, from the Glenwood, Iowa fire department, it was reported that Steier made child porn available for download on the same program's account. It was documented that Steier was a fireman in Glenwood.

Officials said that agents searched Steier's Elkhorn home on Oct. 14, 2021. 

While searching, it was reported that Steier took agents to the Glenwood fire department and agents obtained his laptop.

Agents said they found about 80 videos of child porn on the laptop, with 40 of them being unique.
