A Dubuque man now faces a sentence of up to life in prison after being found guilty on multiple sex crime charges.
52-year-old Kenneth Bienash was convicted by a Dubuque County jury for sexual abuse of a minor, creation of child exploitation material, promotion of child pornography material, possessing child pornography material, and distributing child pornography material. He was initially charged with human trafficking.
Dubuque Police arrested Bienash in February after a woman contacted then reporting her teenager had been a victim of a sexual assault. Police say Bienash found the teen online and gave about $200 a week to take explicit images and perform sexual favors.
Bienash will be sentenced at a later date.
