Juneau man arrested for production of child porn

William Steadman

A Juneau man made his first appearance Thursday in a Juneau court, after his arrest on a criminal charge related to alleged production of child pornography.

William Steadman, 34, was arrested Sept. 6 after he allegedly produced child sexual abuse materials depicting a minor who was known to him. Court documents indicate that he allegedly spent time with other children in Juneau and there may be other victims.

Steadman is charged with sexual exploitation of a child. If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Steadman has other convictions and court cases, including for failing to register as a sex offender. He was convicted in 2018 for possession of child pornography. He is now in custody at Lemon Creek Correctional Center in Juneau.

The U.S. Secret Service is investigating the case. If anyone has information concerning Steadman’s alleged actions or may have encountered someone in person or online using the name William Steadman, contact [email protected].

  1. Horrid instance, deserves all that the law allows, however, I’d be interested in why the Secret Service is involved. On the surface, it smacks of the recent media stories of overreach of federal departments.
    Thinking this should be a State issue unless there is crossing of state lines involved.
    Just a curious happenstance on my part.

      • Jay, while true that the Feds deal with the online part (crossing state lines), it is generally the FBI NOT the Secret Service. I am with al that there is clearly more to that story, as in general terms the Secret Service deals with counterfeiting and other currency violations. One wonders if they are the lead agency in one of the other pending court cases against him and it is all interrelated.

  2. Take him to Admiralty and put him out with nothing but his clothes. Considering the profoundly dense bear population, this issue will sort itself out.

  3. Everyone wants this one burned at the stake, but education industry officials who get money for brainwahing, drugging, mutilating children get a pass?
    .
    How does this work?

    • Finger pointing from a fan of circumcision no doubt… but that can’t be genital mutilation of children, can it? Naaaaw man, the magical dead jew said it was cool so no, it can’t be real mutilation, right?

  4. I’m an amateur welder but still good enough to volunteer to seal him into a dark cell somewhere. How do I apply?
