The complaint lists descriptions of the videos, which are both graphic and disturbing. Some of the videos involve toddlers and other very young children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA 44-page search warrant filed Friday by a DCI special agent said investigators found Blomme, using the name \u2018dommasterbb,\u2019 uploaded 27 videos and images containing child pornography,\u201d the Journal-Sentinel noted. \u201cThe special agent sought permission to search Blomme\u2019s courtroom, chambers, houses in Milwaukee and Dane counties and his 2017 Audi.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kik, a social media platform that features short videos, provided authorities with several IP addresses associated with \u201cdommasterbb.\u201d Two of those addresses were associated with a \u201cMilwaukee County government building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis investigation was led by the Wisconsin DOJ DCI, with assistance from investigators with the Milwaukee County District Attorney\u2019s office,\u201d according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doj.state.wi.us\/news-releases\/milwaukee-county-judge-arrested-child-pornography-charges\">press release from the Wisconsin Department of Justice<\/a>. \u201cSpecial assistance was received from the following agencies in executing the search warrants: Wauwatosa PD; Cottage Grove PD; Racine County Sheriff; Brookfield PD; Waukesha County Sheriff; and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.<\/p>\n<p>Blomme, the Journal-Sentinel reports, was \u201celected to the court in the spring 2020 election, defeating incumbent Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Paul Dedinsky, an appointee of former Republican Gov. Scott Walker. In that contest, the state Democratic Party donated more than $10,000 to Blomme\u2019s campaign.\u201d Blomme offered himself as the \u201cprogressive alternative\u201d to Dedinksy.<\/p>\n<p>Before then, Blomme served on the city\u2019s board of zoning appeals, and also as the \u201cfull-time head\u201d of the Cream City Foundation, an LGBTQ activist organization that <a href=\"https:\/\/newstalk1130.iheart.com\/featured\/common-sense-central\/content\/2019-11-22-marquette-university-hosts-drag-queen-story-hour\/\">promoted \u201cdrag queen story hour\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrag Queen Story Hour is just what it sounds like \u2013 drag queens reading stories to children in libraries, schools, and bookstores,\u201d the Cream City Foundation&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/creamcityfoundation.org\/dqsh\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">noted on its website<\/a> promoting the events in 2019, during Blomme\u2019s tenure. \u201cDQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe email that shared and downloaded the videos was used to communicate multiple times with the Cream City Foundation, according to the complaint,\u201d according to Wisconsin Right Now. \u201cThe email account also exchanged emails with a printer requesting the return address for envelopes as Blomme for Judge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Criminal charges are expected to be filed against Blomme this week.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
