RACINE — A 57-year-old Racine man faces more than a dozen felony charges after investigators searched his home and reportedly found devices containing images of child pornography.
The charges come amid a wave of similar cases investigated and prosecuted in Racine County.
Tony Radunz was charged with 14 counts of possessing child pornography. If convicted, he could be fined up to $100,000, sentenced to up to 25 years in prison, or both. The court also can impose a $500 surcharge for each image or copy of an image recovered.
Radunz is in custody, and the court set his cash bail at $100,000.
According to the criminal complaint, the Racine County Sheriff’s Office began an investigation after being assigned to a cyber tip by the state DOJ’s Division of Criminal Investigation on July 30.
Investigators searched Radunz’s residence in the 700 block of Aruther Avenue on Sept. 25.
According to the complaint, Radunz allegedly admitted to viewing child pornography and to storing images on a USB drive.
Radunz is scheduled to appear in Racine County Circuit Court for a preliminary hearing Oct. 2.
