GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — An Oconto Falls doctor was convicted in federal court Wednesday for committing child pornography crimes.
After a four-day trial, a jury found Dr. Isaias Cupino guilty on five counts:
- Three of production of child pornography
- One of transportation of child pornography
- One of possession of child pornography
The jury returned not guilty verdicts for three additional counts of production of child pornography.
The case began when police received a tip that child sexual abuse material had been uploaded to Facebook from a computer in Oconto Falls. A detective recognized the doctor in the video as Cupino and had reason to believe the child involved, a toddler, was in danger.
Police searched Cupino’s house and found more explicit videos depicting Cupino and the toddler, taken in Cupino’s home. He was charged in state court last August, but those counts were dismissed one month later in favor of the federal case.
According to court documents, Cupino coerced a “pre-pubescent minor” to engage in sexually explicit conduct and used a phone to capture pornographic images.
Cupino will be sentenced July 30.
