High risk sex offender Brynner Rennecke, Minot, charged with possession of child porn

High risk registered sex offender Brynner Phoenix Rennecke, 29, Minot, is charged in district court in Minot with 10 counts of Class C felony possession of child pornography.

Rennecke made an initial appearance on the charges on Monday before Judge Stacy Louser, who set bond at $25,000 cash or corporate surety. A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for Feb. 13.

According to a probable cause affidavit filed with the court, the Ward County Sheriff’s Department received a tip in December from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that led to Rennecke’s arrest.

Rennecke is accused of uploading to the internet between November and December 2019 hundreds of explicit images of children ranging in age from infants up to about age 12.

Authorities obtained a warrant for Rennecke’s apartment at 7001 Highway 2 and 52 West, Apartment 1, on Thursday. Rennecke was placed under arrest and admitted to downloading and uploading the child pornography using apps such as Kik and Telegram.
