GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A former radio disc jockey was convicted Monday of child sexploitation and theft charges.
Lieburn, 40, whose on-air name on 95.9 KISS-FM was Dan Brown, pleaded no contest to five counts of child sexploitation, and one count of theft in a business setting of more than $10,000. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 1, court records show.
According to the criminal complaint, police received an online tip last May of a video of child sexual abuse material being shared from a Snapchat account. Investigators tied the account to Lieburn and served a search warrant at his parents’ home in Howard, where he lives.
Authorities took his cellphone, which had the Snapchat account tied to the child sexual abuse material. Lieburn admitted having seen and sent the video.
“I have been addicted to young, teenage boys since I was about 17 years of age,” he said in a statement, according to the criminal complaint. “I am sorry for what I have done. I believe I need some mental health help for my problem.”
Lieburn was also convicted for stealing nearly $14,000 from the U.S. Junior Curling Association.
The criminal complaint alleges Lieburn controlled the curling nonprofit’s Square account and failed to transfer all proceeds from camps, clinics and merchandise sales into the organization’s bank account between 2021 and 2024.
