(Watertown) A Watertown teen guilty of having illegal images of children was placed on probation for three years. Mitchell Roeglin entered a no contest plea to a felony count of Possession of Child Pornography by a Person under the Age of 18 in November. Six additional felony charges were dismissed but read into the record.
The social networking site Tumblr generated a CyberTip with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in 2019. The tip led authorities to Roeglin’s home. A search warrant was executed and Roeglin’s tablet and cellphone were taken.
When questioned, Roeglin admitted to receiving and transmitting illicit images of children and posting them to his blog. The 19-year-old said that the content of his blog was (quote) “not suitable for anyone.” A forensic examination of the devices found multiple images of child porn.
