SUBLETTE COUNTY – After pleading not guilty on Oct. 5 in 9^th District Court to four felony charges of possession of child pornography, Gabriel M. Gregg’s jury trial date was extended to March 18, 2024.

District Judge Kate McKay ordered the extension after Sublette County Deputy Attorney Gaston Gosar and public defender Rachel Weksler, representing Gregg, moved jointly to “request that the pretrial conference and trial date be continued to the next available trial setting,” according to court records.

The attorneys stated that Gosar would not have all discovery available until Nov. 6 and that Weksler would then need four weeks to review and prepare any needed motions, records show.

Gregg was charged with four felonies of sexual exploitation of children by allegedly possessing child pornography on June 5 and April 26, each charge carrying a maximum penalty of not more than 10 years in prison and $10,000 fine.

The case resulted from information gathered by Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation’s Drew Cotton, who on June 5 received a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children of a suspect video filed in a Verizon cloud-storage service, according to an affidavit.

Cotton investigated the tips and found an alleged 46-second video of a pubescent female child speaking a foreign language, and with Homeland Security sent a federal summons to Verizon Wireless for a cell phone search of Gregg’s phone, the affidavit says.

The affidavit alleges three more “contraband files of child pornography” were found in Gregg’s account, it says, with prepubescent females and adult male, it says.

Gregg reportedly told investigators he “was addicted” to viewing child porn since the 1990s and found images on the Internet and social media, it says.

Judge McKay had continued Gregg’s bond at $20,000 cash as set in Circuit Court.

The pretrial conference is set for Feb. 22 at 9 a.m.
