KENOSHA — A Burlington man has been accused of distributing illicit videos through a social media platform.

Jerry Lapenta II, 33, was charged Thursday with one count of child pornography and 10 counts of bestiality by selling/publishing obscene material of sexual contact with animal. He also was charged with one count of possession of cocaine/coca and one count of possessing drug paraphernalia.

The Kenosha County Sheriff's Office received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in September 2024 that someone had distributed illegal and disturbing content in July 2024 through the social media platform Kik.

According to KCSO, investigators were able to determine that the account was linked to Lapenta and he was arrested Wednesday.

Lapenta initially appeared in court Thursday, where his bond was set at $100,000.

He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Nov. 26.
