Possession of child porn charges dismissed

Southeastern Wisconsin

Police recovered several nude photos of a 17-year-old girl from the defendant's bedroom. The defendant denied any knowledge of these photos. Police questioned him at the police station for several hours. During her investigation of the case, defense attorney Sydne French learned the defendant's roommate had a falling out with the her client shortly before calling police. Attorney French presented evidence to the DA that her client's roommate was a known drug addict with a long criminal history for committing crimes that involved forgery, and providing false information. The DA subsequently dismissed the charges at the preliminary hearing.
