RACINE — A 37-year-old Racine man has been charged with two counts of possession of child pornography.
The maximum sentence for each felony charge is a fine of up to $100,000, imprisonment for up to 25 years, or both.
Further, the court will impose a surcharge of $500 for each image or each copy of an image associated with the crime.
At an April 1 hearing, Racine County Court Commissioner Alice Rudebusch set Carlos Chavez’s bond at $25,000. He is scheduled to appear in court April 9 for a preliminary hearing.
According to a criminal complaint, the Racine County Sheriff’s Office initiated an investigation based on a tip from the Division of Criminal Investigation and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tip referenced a Google account associated with the name “Carlos Chavez.”
During the investigation, RCSO served a warrant on Google for the account. According to the complaint, the account reportedly contained a photo of Chavez, as well as internet and map history.
The account also allegedly contained images depicting child pornography.
