Plonski admitted creating 23 videos over seven months and faces 15 years of supervised release after prison.
- On Tuesday, Sept. 8, former Minnesota State Patrol trooper Jeremy Francis Plonski was sentenced to 27 years in federal prison for repeatedly sexually assaulting a toddler and producing child pornography.
- Plonski admitted to creating and sharing 23 videos over seven months in 2023, with some recordings featuring him wearing his State Patrol uniform and firearm.
- Forensic analysis by the FBI in April 2025 identified Plonski as the suspect, leading to his termination after initial Scott County charges; he faced 23 to 28 years under a plea agreement.
- Dan Rosen, the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, said the sentence represents his office's commitment to protecting vulnerable children, with the court ordering 15 years of supervised release following incarceration.
- "No badge, no title and no position will ever place anyone above the law," State Patrol Col. Christina Bogojevic stated, emphasizing that protecting the vulnerable remains the organization's duty.
