(Cedar Rapids – KCRG) -- Casey Frederiksen will soon have to register as a sex offender. He plans to plead guilty to three federal child pornography charges Tuesday morning.
You'll remember Frederiksen from his relationship with Noel Miller, the mother of five-year-old Floyd County murder victim Evelyn Miller.
The U.S. Attorneys Office has agreed to drop 11 charges against Casey Frederiksen.
In return, Frederiksen has admitted he had more than six-hundred child pornography images on his computer.
If the judge accepts this plea agreement tomorrow morning, Frederiksen will face multiple penalties.
He'll have to register as a sex offender and provide a DNA sample.
He'll have to spend between five and forty-years in prison without parole.
He faces fines up to $750,000.
Plus, he could end up being supervised by law enforcement for the rest of his life.
In addition, Frederiksen must pay money to all the identifiable victims in this child pornography case.
This punishment is tougher than normal because he already has a history of sexual assault, and because he had so many pictures on his computer.
The U.S. Attorney's Office would not say if Evelyn Miller is in any of the images or if any of the children are local.
Remember this case is separate from the murder investigation.
Prosecutors still have not charged anyone in connection to Evelyn's murder.
Frederiksen will appear in federal court Thursday morning.
If the judge accepts the plea, it could take up to two months before a judge sentences him for his crimes.
