A Wisconsin State Trooper who has patrolled in Jefferson County for years is charged with possession of child pornography.

53-year-old Frank Richard Torrez resigned from his job with the State Patrol last Friday. The same day Department of Justice agents executed a search warrant on his Cambridge home and found a number of images and videos depicting child pornography on an external hard drive and a handful of computers.

The Jefferson Daily Union reports that the Wisconsin Attorney General’s Office filed a complaint in Jefferson County Circuit Court on Monday alleging 10 separate counts of felony possession of child pornography.

According to the criminal complaint, Torrez admitted to downloading the images and videos, and even gave DCI agents his computer password.
