RACINE — A West Allis man has been charged with possession of child pornography following an investigation by the Caledonia Police Department.
Marvon Lynch, 21, is facing 37 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of resisting or obstructing an officer.
If convicted, Lynch could be sentenced to 25 years in prison, fined of up to $100,000 for each count of possession of child pornography, or both. Additionally, the court may impose a surcharge of $500 for each image or copy of an image, according to the criminal complaint.
Lynch faces an additional nine months in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both, if convicted of obstructing an officer.
On Wednesday, his cash bond was set at $150,000, according to court records.
According to a criminal complaint, about 12:25 a.m. Aug. 13, a CPD officer reportedly saw a vehicle parked in the Cliffside Park parking lot, 7320 Michna Road, which had closed at 11 p.m.
The officer reported seeing Lynch in the backseat with a passenger, who later was confirmed to be 12 years old, the complaint said. The passenger reportedly told police that she believed Lynch was 16.
CPD searched Lynch's phone after learning that the 12-year-old might have sent "provocative photos" to him, according to the criminal complaint.
Police reportedly found about 60 images of child pornography on Lynch's phone.
Lynch is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 10 in Racine County Circuit Court.
