RACINE — A Racine man facing child pornography charges after a search of his home pleaded not guilty Thursday.
Mark Temby, who is 58, was charged Aug. 26 with 15 felony counts of possessing child pornography.
If convicted, Temby could be made to pay a fine up to $100,000, serve a 25-year prison sentence, or both. The court can also impose a $500 surcharge for each image or copy of an image that depicts child pornography.
According to previous Journal Times reports, the investigation into Temby began in February 2019 when the Racine Police Department received a cyber tip associated with Temby’s residence in the 1500 block of Flett Avenue.
Investigators with the sheriff’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit and agents with the state Department of Justice’s Division of Criminal Investigation searched the Flett Avenue home Aug. 23, 2024, based on an additional three cyber tips received in 2023 and 2024.
Investigators reportedly found several electronic devices containing numerous images depicting child pornography.
Temby is scheduled to appear for a status conference on Dec. 9.
