20-year-old Meillo Schneider who was charged with nine counts of possessing virtual child pornography and one count of resisting an officer has filed a motion to dismiss the possession charges, alleging an infringement on his First Amendment rights.
According to a criminal complaint, Schneider was charged in November 2024 after a cyber tip was reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) in April 2024 by Amazon Photos’ Trust and Safety Team.
An investigation into the reports identified over 13,000 images of virtual child pornography. The complaint said that a Fond du Lac Police Detective said it was difficult to distinguish the images as either artificial intelligence (AI) generated or if they were of real and unknown victims.

The complaint states that the photos were very realistic and showed children/infants performing sexual acts on adults or themselves in various and explicit ways.
According to the complaint, during a search warrant on Schneider’s residence in November, detectives asked him about the types of porn he watched, which he didn’t want to reveal as he was in public, and ‘hoped there was nothing wrong with a little self-relief.’
Schneider was reportedly asked if he had seen anything illegal, as well.

“By this country’s standards, sadly yes, but I would hope that this country also understands that I’m not going to re-distribute or like sell it,” Schneider reportedly said. “I just want it for personal gratification.”
Regarding the motion to dismiss, which was filed in a hearing on July 14, 2025, Schneider and his attorney sought to dismiss counts 1-7 and 9-10 (all of which are possession of virtual child pornography), arguing that prosecution for it would be a violation of his First Amendment rights.
