Storm Lake, Iowa (RI) — A former Storm Lake city employee has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.
Brian Oakleaf was serving as Storm Lake’s finance manager in July of last year when investigators got warrants to search his office in Storm Lake City Hall as well as his home. He resigned from his city job the following month. According to the Justice Department, Oakleaf used the alias of “Dan Dyle” to look at and trade child pornography. In his plea agreement, Oakleaf admits he had over 20-thousand images of child pornography on two cell phones and a video that lasted over 90 minutes.
Oakleaf, who is 52, faces a sentence of up to 40 years in federal prison and a fine as high as half a million dollars.
