7. There is no dispute that the Defendant possessed images of child pornography that 

depicted victims of the “Jenny,” and “Sweet White Sugar” series being sexually 

abused.

8. There is no dispute that harm was caused to “Jenny,” and “Sweet White Sugar” series 

by persons who possess, disseminate or share the images of “Jenny,” and “Sweet 

White Sugar” series being sexually abused as a child. “Jenny,” and “Sweet White 

Sugar” series knowledge that images of their individual abuse were being disseminated 

and possessed by others caused “Jenny,” and “Sweet White Sugar” series to be revictimized and has resulted in harm that is distinct from that suffered from the actual 

physical sexual abuse sustained as a child. Accordingly, the Court finds that “Jenny,” 

and “Sweet White Sugar” series were harmed as a result of the criminal conduct 

engaged in by the Defendant.

9. There is no dispute that other individuals have been charged and convicted in multiple 

Districts with possessing, receiving, and/or disseminating child pornography wherein 

“Jenny,” and “Sweet White Sugar” series are victims.

10. There is no dispute that the amounts of restitution recited herein reflect the respective 

victims' losses as proximately caused by the Defendant Nicholas James Sorgenfrey.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:

The Defendant Nicholas James Sorgenfrey, is liable for restitution in the following 

amounts:
