RACINE — A 42-year-old man changed his plea Monday in connection to 2025 child pornography accusations.

Michael Castagnino, from the Town of Dover, faced five counts of possession of child pornography.

He pleaded guilty to three counts. The remaining two counts were dismissed but read in to the court record.

Each is a class D felony and, upon conviction, can result in a maximum fine of $100,00, up to 25 years in prison or both. Additionally, the court can impose a $500 surcharge for each image recovered.

Castagnino was arrested in February 2025 by investigators with the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office and Wisconsin State Patrol troopers.

He originally pleaded not guilty in May.

Castagnino is scheduled for a sentencing hearing April 17.
