Jury convicts Willard man of receiving child pornography

A jury convicted a Willard man of child pornography crimes.

Karl J. Rogers, 34, is scheduled to be sentenced later this year.

Rogers was convicted of one count of receipt of child pornography. He knowingly received numerous images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. This took place between October and December 2017, according to trial testimony and court documents.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Mansfield Police Department and the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracey Ballard Tangeman.
