Wisconsin Man With Texas Ties Pleads Not Guilty to Child Pornography and Exploitation Charges

Fitchburg Arrest Leads to Dane County Courtroom

A man living in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday, June 17, after being arrested earlier this spring on child sex crimes. The case has drawn attention to the ongoing work of local and state law enforcement in combating child exploitation — and to the critical role of specialized task forces in bringing these cases to court.

On April 30, 2026, members of the Fitchburg Police Department Special Response Team executed a search warrant at a residence in the 5100 block of Central Park Place. As a result of evidence obtained during the investigation, Alexander Mohacey, 28, was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Dane County Jail on one count of possession of child pornography and one count of sexual exploitation of a child.

A Multi-Agency Investigation

The Fitchburg Police Department was assisted during the execution of the search warrant by the Wisconsin DCI – Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. The ICAC Task Force is a statewide network of law enforcement agencies that work together to investigate internet-facilitated crimes against children — including the production, distribution, and possession of child sexual abuse material. Their involvement signals that this was not a routine arrest but rather the product of a longer, coordinated investigation.

Mohacey faces charges of one count of possession of child pornography and one count of sexual exploitation of a child. Online court records show Mohacey's bond was set at $2,000. That relatively low bond figure has raised eyebrows among those who follow child safety cases closely, as courts in similar cases across the state have set significantly higher bail amounts.

What Happens Next

Attorneys entered a not guilty plea on behalf of Mohacey in Dane County Court. A pre-trial conference has been scheduled for August. That hearing will likely address evidence, potential motions, and whether the case proceeds to trial or reaches a resolution through negotiation. For now, Mohacey remains subject to the conditions of his bond while the legal process moves forward.

Cases like this one reflect a broader pattern playing out across Wisconsin. Fitchburg, a city just south of Madison, has seen multiple child pornography-related arrests in 2026 alone, each involving coordination between the Fitchburg Police Department and the ICAC Task Force. The Fitchburg Police Department has stated that these arrests reflect its dedication to protecting children, holding offenders accountable, and ensuring the safety of the community through thorough investigation.

A Community on Alert

Child exploitation cases are rarely isolated incidents. When law enforcement executes a search warrant tied to child pornography possession, investigators often uncover networks, digital trails, and evidence that can extend well beyond a single suspect or device. The involvement of the ICAC Task Force — which operates across Wisconsin and connects to a national network — suggests investigators may be looking at a broader picture than what has been made public so far.

As the August pre-trial conference approaches, the Dane County court will become the focal point for a case that touches on some of the most serious crimes a community can face. Whether the case goes to trial or is resolved before then, the outcome will carry significant consequences — and the scrutiny of a public that expects accountability when children are the alleged victims.
