v. Bott

Summary

The court held that possessing more than twenty qualifying items of sexually exploitative material under the applicable statute constitutes one offense, not a separate offense for each group of more than twenty items. Because the defendant's 294 images were simultaneously possessed on one memory card, the multiple possession convictions violated double-jeopardy protections, and the court affirmed the vacatur of eleven convictions. The court relied on the statutory language defining the offense and classifying possession of more than twenty items as a single class 4 felony.
