(PUEBLO, Colo.) — Keith Conrad, a 36-year-old man from Pueblo was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison on Wednesday, Jan. 29, after he pled guilty to one count of Production of Child Pornography, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Denver.

According to the plea agreement, the forensic examiner identified over 900 images of possible child pornography, and the FBI found evidence that Conrad had sent several images to other people via Facebook Messenger. According to FBI Denver and as part of the plea agreement, other counts in the indictment were dismissed.
Conrad was arrested on Feb. 24, 2023, by the Pueblo Police Department (PPD) after someone reported him for sending videos and text messages in which he showed and talked about sexually assaulting a child.
Conrad was indicted by a federal grand jury in June 2023 and pled guilty on Oct. 22, 2024.
The recent conviction of Keith Conrad by a federal jury is another example of the impact of working with our federal partners to ensure purveyors of these heinous and major crimes have no place in our community now or in the future. There is no tolerance for these crimes, and I commend the FBI, Pueblo Police detectives, and the jury for holding Mr. Conrad accountable for his actions and for working together to safeguard youth in our community.
Pueblo Police Department Chief of Police Chris Noeller
