Omaha Firefighter Charged With Eight Child Porn Felonies

Omaha firefighter Brandon Wilson, 55, faces eight felony charges stemming from allegations that he used hidden cameras to record his former girlfriend’s daughter, who was 12 to 15, between 2017 and 2020. Prosecutors told a judge that the cameras were placed in the girl’s bedroom and bathroom and that recordings showed her in various states of undress; they said the case proceeded after physical evidence was recently obtained. Reports describe the charges as involving child pornography and photographing or recording a minor without consent, with some differing on the precise child-pornography charge wording. A judge set Wilson’s bond at $400,000 and ordered him to have no contact with the alleged victim; his next court appearance is scheduled for November 2. Wilson, who has denied no allegations in the reports, is on paid administrative leave from the Omaha Fire Department while the case is investigated.
Court documents cited in one report assigned two alleged charges to 2018, two to 2019 and four to 2020, providing a year-by-year breakdown of the alleged incidents.
Douglas County Attorney Don Klein called the allegations particularly troubling because Wilson is a first responder.
Omaha police said the arrest followed an investigation by the department’s Child Victim Unit and asked anyone with relevant information to contact its Special Victims Unit.
