OTTAWA COUNTY, Ohio — A Port Clinton woman was sentenced to seven years in prison on Monday after being convicted of child sexual abuse material charges.

Kati Schlipf, 38, pleaded guilty in October in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court to 25 counts of pandering sexually-oriented matter involving a minor or impaired person and one count of attempted pandering. She must also register as a Tier-II sex offender.

Her husband, Jason Schlipf, 37, also pleaded guilty to the same charges. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 5.

Jason and Kati Schlipf were arrested in May after the Ottawa County Major Crimes Unit said law enforcement received a tip from the Tiffin Police Department regarding the upload of suspected child sexual abuse material to an online platform.

Authorities said following an investigation, law enforcement executed a search warrant at a residence in the 300 block of Cedar Street in Port Clinton. During the search warrant, a number of electronic devices were seized.

"This case is a prime example of the power of interagency cooperation and the vital role that public and digital service providers play in protecting children," the Ottawa County Major Crimes Unit said in a May press release. "Law Enforcement throughout Ottawa County remain committed to pursuing those who exploit children online and holding them accountable."

Anyone with information about this case or other suspected crimes against children is asked to contact the Ottawa County Major Crimes Unit at 419-898-3155.
