If possession of child pornography is punishable by 5 years in custody, why did all these other Humboldt defendants get probation?

 

(Ryan Greenwood's 17 prior cases before his 2025 arrest for child 

Ryan Greenwood was arrested by Eureka Police Department on August 27 on a Ramey warrant for PC 311.11(c)(1) possession of over 600 images of child pornography which involved a minor engaged in or simulating sexual conduct.

He was arraigned on that charge on 8/29. Humboldt Superior Court Presiding Judge Kelly Neel set bail at $45,000 and appointed Conflict Counsel to represent Greenwood. Judge Neel stated in court that this crime is punishable by 5 years in custody and sex offender registration. OR bail on 9/3; preliminary hearing on 9/11.

Matthew Steele, Patrick Payton and Matthias Wilberger are all cases I covered for the same charge and they were all placed on probation. Judge Neel, (now retired) Judge John Feeney and .(now retired) Judge Christopher Wilson sentenced those defendants.

Greenwood has 17 traffic cases; checked most and every single case has bail forfeiture.

9/3/25: Supervised release granted by Retired Judge Joyce Hinrichs. Preliminary hearing remains set for 9/11.


 

9/11/25: Preliminary hearing continued to 10/22.
