Ernesto Roman was charged with six counts of possession of child pornography in April 2025. After pleading not guilty to all counts in May 2025, Roman pleaded guilty to three of the counts Tuesday. The remaining three counts were dismissed but read into the court record.

According to previous Journal Times reporting, Roman was arrested after the Racine County Sheriff’s Office received two cyber tips from the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation.

According to a criminal complaint, both tips contained child pornography and were generated by WhatsApp.

Information obtained through a warrant to WhatsApp reportedly indicated that Roman was the account owner and revealed six videos containing child pornography.

RCSO investigators searched Roman’s home April 14, 2025.

During questioning, he allegedly provided information connecting him to the cyber tips and the account.

Roman is scheduled for a sentencing hearing March 16.

RACINE — A 50-year-old Racine man was sentenced Tuesday to six years of incarceration in connection to child pornography charges.

Christopher Marzette was charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography in September 2024. In October 2025, Marzette was found guilty of three of the counts after a no contest plea. The remaining seven counts were dismissed but read into the court record.

He also was ordered to serve eight years of extended supervision.

According to previous Journal Times reports, Marzette was arrested after the Sheriff’s Internet Crimes Against Children Unit traced cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to an address in the 1400 block of 10th Street.

Investigators searched the residence Sept. 6, 2024, and reportedly found devices with images of child pornography, as well as two email addresses allegedly associated with Marzette and linked to 91 uploads of child pornography.
